Help Brielle get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can attend work interviews.
Anywhere in the world4,865 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Los Angeles 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 $9,350.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $9,350 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $8,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $125
• First-year servicing plan: $255
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone, Brielle. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Kitakyushu so I could bring a meal. Love from Ahmedabad
Looking forward to the next update. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Los Angeles.
take care, Brielle. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
