Annabelle needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Annabelle needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,450.
🇨🇦 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada4,044 views
Annabelle lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Ottawa 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 $3,450.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Annabelle could go to school independently. 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 $3,450 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $370
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $3,000
• Delivery and set-up: $80
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Ottawa.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 13 people at work.
Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Mysuru.
Good luck, Kevin. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
