Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Afia in Tema

Afia needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,250.

Afia lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Tema 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 $1,250. Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Afia 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,250 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,200 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $15 I hope life is good to you. - Edward

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Afia.

    • Edward Kweku YeboahOwnerAnswerID verified

      Communication tablet with eye tracking is $1,200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.

              is there anything that isn't money that would help Afia?
