Independence for Oleg: communication tablet with eye tracking
Help Oleg get a communication tablet with eye tracking so He can join the school sports day.
🇷🇺 Moscow, Russia1,678 views
Oleg lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Moscow 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 $1,950.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Oleg could join the school sports day. 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 $1,950 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $130
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,800
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

How is Oleg doing now?
Good luck, Maria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to New Delhi so I could bring a meal.
wishing you peace, Maria. Get well soon. Please keep us posted.
