Independence for Grace: communication tablet with eye tracking
Help Grace get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can attend work interviews.
🇰🇪 Kenya2,484 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Nairobi General Hospital 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 $800.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $800 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $670
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $60
Thank you for reading my story.
