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 If you're reading this, thank you. - Aarti
