Independence for Marina: communication tablet with eye tracking
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Marina independence - we are $550 away.

Marina lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Lviv 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 $550.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Marina 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 $550 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $400
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $75
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marina.
Hope things get better soon, Anna. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Lviv
