Independence for Yaroslav: communication tablet with eye tracking
Yaroslav needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $550.
🇺🇦 Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine1,641 views
Yaroslav lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Kharkiv 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 $550.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Yaroslav 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 $550 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $420
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $65
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care. Wishing Yaroslav a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up. All the best.
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Sukkur
Hope it all works out, Natalia. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
