Independence for Joyce: communication tablet with eye tracking
Joyce needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,000.

Joyce lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Los Angeles 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 $7,000.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Joyce 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 $7,000 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $6,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $190
• Delivery and set-up: $80
• First-year servicing plan: $230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Jimma so I could bring a meal.
