Independence for Karthik: communication tablet with eye tracking

A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Karthik independence - we're $1,300 away.

Karthik lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Mumbai General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Karthik could attend work interviews. 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 $1,300 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $25 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
