Émilie needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Émilie needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,200.
Anywhere in the world1,005 views
Émilie lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Saint-Denis 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 $2,200.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Émilie could attend work interviews. 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 $2,200 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $185
• First-year servicing plan: $240
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,775
Thanks for reading all this.
