Gauri needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Gauri needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,350.
🇮🇳 India2,556 views
Gauri lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Pune 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 $1,350.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Gauri 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 $1,350 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $35

You're not alone, Aarti. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
