Colleen needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Help Colleen get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇮🇪 Dublin, Leinster, Ireland3,349 views
Colleen lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Dublin 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 $4,550.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Colleen could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $4,550 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $4,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $210
• First-year servicing plan: $290
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Colleen.
Communication tablet with eye tracking is $4,050 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
how is Colleen doing now?
Hang in there, Roisin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
Hope it all works out, Roisin. Hope the doctors have good news.
Stay strong, Roisin. Shared this with my family
hang in there, Roisin. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
rooting for you, Roisin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Johannesburg.
