Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Rebecca in Cardiff
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Rebecca independence - we're $9,100 away.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Cardiff 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 $9,100.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $9,100 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $8,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $250
• First-year servicing plan: $350
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 37 people at work. Take care.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Soweto so I could bring a meal
Thinking of you, Rebecca. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope June is when things finally get easier!
wishing you the best, Rebecca. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Take care. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning
