Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Michel in Edmonton
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Michel independence - we're $6,900 away.
🇨🇦 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada7,405 views
Michel lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Edmonton Mobility Clinic 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 $6,900.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Michel could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $6,900 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $65
• First-year servicing plan: $340
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $6,495
I hope life is good to you.
- Sébastien
