Independence for Everly: communication tablet with eye tracking
Everly needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $5,000.

Everly lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Dallas Mobility Clinic 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 $5,000.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Everly 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $5,000 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $4,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $310
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• First-year servicing plan: $450
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
