Julieta needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Julieta needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,200.
🇺🇸 Memphis, Tennessee, United States508 views
Julieta lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Memphis 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 $6,200.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Julieta could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $6,200 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $5,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $310
• Delivery and set-up: $160
• First-year servicing plan: $230
Thanks for being kind about this.
