Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Hazel in Tampa
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Hazel independence - we're $4,500 away.

Hazel lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Tampa 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 $4,500.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Hazel 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $3,650
• Fitting and training sessions: $280
• Delivery and set-up: $170
• First-year servicing plan: $400
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Leonardo. Hope the doctors have good news
You're not alone, Leonardo. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 6 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Sending love, Leonardo. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Jakarta.
Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Blessings.
