Independence for Harper: communication tablet with eye tracking
Harper needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $5,800.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States4,389 views
Harper lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the San Jose Rehabilitation Centre 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 $5,800.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Harper could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $5,800 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $5,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• Delivery and set-up: $185
• First-year servicing plan: $165
Every share and every dollar helps.
