A communication tablet with eye tracking for Vijay: help Vijay move freely
Help Vijay get a communication tablet with eye tracking so He can join the school sports day.
🇮🇳 Kolkata, West Bengal, India1,097 views
Vijay lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Kolkata General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $500.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Vijay could join the school sports day. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $500 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $455
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Aravind. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Hope things get better soon, Aravind. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Seoul but we're thinking of you.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Ikeja.
Rooting for you, Aravind. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Dallas but we're thinking of you. Love from Dallas.
Good luck, Aravind. Shared it with a few friends!
