Independence for Varsha: communication tablet with eye tracking
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Varsha independence - we're $800 away.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,987 views
Varsha lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Mumbai Mobility Clinic 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 $800.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Varsha 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $800 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $720
• Delivery and set-up: $45
With deep gratitude,
Dhanalakshmi

Get well soon. Thinking of Mumbai.
keep going, Dhanalakshmi. Looking forward to the next update.
how is Varsha doing now?
Best of luck, Dhanalakshmi. Shared this with my family. Take care.
stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 13 people at work.
