Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Hyun-woo in Gangnam
Hyun-woo needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,750.

Hyun-woo lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Gangnam 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 $1,750.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Hyun-woo 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 $1,750 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,450
• Fitting and training sessions: $90
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $150
With deep gratitude,
Ha-eun

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Kyiv but we're thinking of you.
Wishing Hyun-woo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. Love from Hyderabad.
so sorry you're going through this, Ha-eun. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Santos.
