Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for İpek in Kadıköy
Help İpek get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can go to school independently.
🇹🇷 Kadıköy, Istanbul, Türkiye776 views
İpek lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Kadıköy 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 $1,550.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment İpek could go to school independently. 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 $1,550 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,400
• First-year servicing plan: $90
• Delivery and set-up: $60
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Okan. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Okan. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together
Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Cairo.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 7 people at work. Love from Nakhon Ratchasima.
