Gabriel needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Gabriel needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,600.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Caxias do Sul General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,600.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $1,600 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $70
• Fitting and training sessions: $95
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,435
Thank you so much.

Quick update: $125 raised so far (8%). I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Caxias do Sul: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from 6th of October City.
Take care, Gabriel. Shared it with a few friends.
