Alina needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Alina needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $750.

Alina lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Saint Petersburg Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Alina 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $750 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $670
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

How is Alina doing now?
You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Alina!
Fitting and training sessions is $50 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Praying for you, Yevhen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Praying for you, Yevhen. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Take care.
Sending love, Yevhen. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update.
