Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Mercedes in Mendoza
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Mercedes independence - we're $2,200 away.
🇦🇷 Mendoza, Mendoza, Argentina2,089 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Mendoza Mobility Clinic 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 $2,200.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $80
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $95
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, Mercedes. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 38 people at work. All the best
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Mendoza
Thanks for sharing this, Mercedes. This could happen to any of us. Love from Petrópolis.
Sending strength, Mercedes. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Quezon City
