Independence for Itzel: communication tablet with eye tracking
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Itzel independence - we're $2,450 away.
🇲🇽 Ciudad de México, Mexico1,209 views
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.
