Deepak needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Deepak needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $500.

Deepak lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Lalitpur Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $500.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Deepak could speak with the people around him. 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 $500 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $25
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $420
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
