Independence for Céline: communication tablet with eye tracking
Céline needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,350.

Céline lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Saint-Étienne General Hospital 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 $6,350.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Céline could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $6,350 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $270
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $6,020
Thank you for reading my story.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Céline.
Delivery and set-up is $60 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Niterói.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together.
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Albany.
