Independence for Alice: communication tablet with eye tracking
Alice needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,400.

Alice lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the London 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 $4,400.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Alice could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $4,400 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $3,900
• Fitting and training sessions: $210
• Delivery and set-up: $125
• First-year servicing plan: $165
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
