Esra needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Esra needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $200.
Anywhere in the world1,292 views
Esra lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Istanbul 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 $200.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Esra 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $200 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $60
• Fitting and training sessions: $75
• Delivery and set-up: $65
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Jodhpur so I could bring a meal.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Kolkata donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
You're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Istanbul.
