Independence for Lorenzo: communication tablet with eye tracking
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Lorenzo independence - we're $5,850 away.

Lorenzo lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Móstoles 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 $5,850.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Lorenzo 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $5,850 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $5,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $210
• Delivery and set-up: $115
• First-year servicing plan: $275
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
