Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Jameson in San Francisco
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Jameson independence - we're $8,100 away.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States2,278 views
Jameson lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at San Francisco General Hospital 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 $8,100.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Jameson could attend work interviews. 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 $8,100 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $210
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $7,500
• First-year servicing plan: $390
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace. Wishing Jameson a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 21 people at work.
Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Lucknow.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in San Jose donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
You're not alone, Lily. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of San Francisco
