Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Danjuma in Lagos
Danjuma needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $850.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,033 views
Danjuma lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Lagos Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Danjuma 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 $850 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $45
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $790
• Fitting and training sessions: $15

Sending love, Chinedu. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Praying for you, Chinedu. Wishing Danjuma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Lagos.
