Independence for Lydia: communication tablet with eye tracking
Lydia needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $650.

Lydia lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Coventry 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 $650.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Lydia 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $650 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $280
• Fitting and training sessions: $310
• Delivery and set-up: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Eva. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in London donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
