Esther needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Esther independence - we're $800 away.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria2,146 views
Esther lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Lagos Mobility Clinic 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 $800.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Esther could speak with the people around her. 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 $800 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $710
• First-year servicing plan: $25
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope it all works out, Lucky. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Regensburg.
Rooting for you, Lucky. Wishing Esther a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Stay strong, Lucky. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Lagos
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
Thanks for sharing this, Lucky. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Peshawar but we're thinking of you
