Independence for Santiago: communication tablet with eye tracking
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Santiago independence - we're $6,750 away.
🇺🇸 Florida, United States1,403 views
Santiago lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Tampa Mobility Clinic 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 $6,750.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Santiago could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $6,750 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $6,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $320
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• First-year servicing plan: $285
Thanks for reading all this.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Rooting for you, Aria. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best
Sending strength, Aria. Wishing Santiago a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Aria. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
