Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Josiane in Juiz de Fora

A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Josiane independence - we're $1,650 away.

Juiz de Fora
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Juiz de Fora Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,650. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. 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 $1,650 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,400 • Fitting and training sessions: $110 • Delivery and set-up: $50 • First-year servicing plan: $90 If you're reading this, thank you.

          Sending good thoughts, Josiane. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Marseille so I could bring a meal.

          • Thomas W. Rose

            Best of luck, Josiane. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.

              Rooting for you, Josiane. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning. Greetings from Lagos.
