Independence for Isabel: communication tablet with eye tracking
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Isabel independence - we're $2,200 away.
🇪🇸 Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain2,273 views
Isabel lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Tarragona General Hospital 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 $2,200.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Isabel 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $155
• Delivery and set-up: $65
• First-year servicing plan: $230
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Isabel!
Communication tablet with eye tracking is $1,750 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Love from Kandy
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless!
So sorry you're going through this, Guadalupe. Hope the doctors have good news. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Good luck. Wishing Isabel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 8 people at work. God bless.
Wishing Isabel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Gwagwalada.
Hang in there, Guadalupe. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Jeddah this morning. Greetings from Jeddah.
Best of luck, Guadalupe. I hope things turn around soon.
Wishing you peace, Guadalupe. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Leeds.

Sending good thoughts, Guadalupe. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Wishing you the best. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Praying for you, Guadalupe. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Stockholm donated after I showed her your page.
