Independence for Arturo: communication tablet with eye tracking

A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Arturo independence - we're $5,500 away.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Tarragona 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 $5,500. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $5,500 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $90 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $5,250 • First-year servicing plan: $160 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

          It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Coimbatore.
