🇺🇸 United States2,551 views
Deborah lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the San Jose 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 $8,800.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Deborah could join the school sports day. 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 $8,800 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $8,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $190
• First-year servicing plan: $360
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
