Beatrice needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Beatrice needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system will not fund; the cost is $800.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya843 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Nairobi Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $800 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $640
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $80
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
