Laura needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Laura independence - we're $2,450 away.

Laura lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Iztapalapa Rehabilitation Centre 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 $2,450.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Laura could speak with the people around her. 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 $2,450 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,350
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
With deep gratitude,
Rocío

wishing you the best, Rocío. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Iztapalapa
So sorry you're going through this, Rocío. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
You're not alone, Rocío. Looking forward to the next update
hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Gaziantep this morning. Take care.
