Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Karina in La Plata
Karina needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,150.

Karina lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at La Plata General Hospital 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 $2,150.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Karina 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $35
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Zapopan.
hope it all works out, Gonzalo. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Lalitpur donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Take care, Gonzalo. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too
wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
