Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Lovely in Caloocan

A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Lovely independence - we are $500 away.

Caloocan
Lovely lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Caloocan 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 $500. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Lovely could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $500 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $25 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $450 • First-year servicing plan: $25 Thank you for reading my story. - Gianna

    Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Caloocan.
