Independence for Dhanush: communication tablet with eye tracking

Dhanush needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,100.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Coimbatore 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 $1,100. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,100 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $25 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,050 I hope life is good to you. - Dhanush

Updates from Dhanush

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($305 in total) I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 20 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Saket.
