Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Eliana in Wollongong
Help Eliana get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇦🇺 Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia1,455 views
Eliana lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Wollongong General Hospital 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 $2,450.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Eliana 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 $2,450 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,800
• Fitting and training sessions: $330
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $260
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this, Joshua. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Wollongong
Hang in there, Joshua. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up.
hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in San Jose this morning. Take care.
