Independence for Olivier: communication tablet with eye tracking
Olivier needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,950.

Olivier lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Lille 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 $6,950.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Olivier could go to school independently. 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 $6,950 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $6,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $360
• Delivery and set-up: $130
• First-year servicing plan: $210
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Nashik.
Stay strong. Wishing Olivier a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Lille.
What exactly is the $6,950 for?
Sure. The biggest one is communication tablet with eye tracking, $6,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
How is Olivier doing now?
You're not alone, Henri. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Aurangabad donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Pune.
Wishing you peace, Henri. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours.
Best of luck, Henri. I hope things turn around soon
Sending good thoughts, Henri. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Hauts-de-France. I'll ask around and let you know
