Independence for Hadley: communication tablet with eye tracking
Help Hadley get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can go to school independently.
🇺🇸 Atlanta, Georgia, United States8,937 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Atlanta 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 $7,600.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $7,600 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $7,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $155
• Delivery and set-up: $195
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

You're not alone, Hadley. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Keep going, Hadley. Shared it with a few friends. After 22 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
