Marites needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Help Marites get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can join the school sports day.
Anywhere in the world1,273 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Quezon City General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $950 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $890
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this, Marites. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Alicante.
Good luck, Marites. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Vigo.
