Independence for Kayode: communication tablet with eye tracking
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Kayode independence - we're $950 away.
🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria1,341 views
Kayode lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Ibadan Rehabilitation Centre 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 $950.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Kayode could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $950 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $860
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $35
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

praying for you, Chidi. Get well soon. Greetings from Butwal
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Salem so I could bring a meal. Love from Taguig.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 26 people at work
