Meenakshi needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Help Meenakshi get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can go to school independently.
🇮🇳 India2,804 views
Meenakshi lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Patna 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 $1,100.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Meenakshi could go to school independently. 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 $1,100 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $40
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,045
I hope life is good to you.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Patna!
Thank you. If you're in Patna I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Meenakshi.
It's all in the list in the story. delivery and set-up is the big one at $15, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Patna.
hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Sending strength, Balaji. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
shared this with my family. Thinking of Patna.
