Itzel lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Iztapalapa 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 $2,450. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Itzel could go to school independently. 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 $2,450 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,200 • Fitting and training sessions: $100 • Delivery and set-up: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $115 Thanks for being kind about this. - Elena
