Haris needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Haris needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $350.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Karachi Mobility Clinic 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 $350.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $350 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $300
• Delivery and set-up: $20
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Haris. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Los Angeles.
