Farah needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Farah needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $300.
🇵🇰 Sukkur, Sindh, Pakistan783 views
Farah lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Sukkur 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 $300.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Farah could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $300 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $210
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Farah.
Sure. The biggest one is communication tablet with eye tracking, $210. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
Hang in there, Adnan. Looking forward to the next update
best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Londrina this morning. Blessings
thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Dwarka
