Independence for Naresh: communication tablet with eye tracking
Naresh needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $900.
🇳🇵 Kathmandu, Bagmati, Nepal872 views
Naresh lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Kathmandu 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 $900.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Naresh could speak with the people around him. 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 $900 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $40
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $840
• Delivery and set-up: $20
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts, Kiran. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
