Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Ronaldo in São Paulo
Help Ronaldo get a communication tablet with eye tracking so He can attend work interviews.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil2,661 views
Ronaldo lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the São Paulo Rehabilitation Centre 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 $1,850.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Ronaldo 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,740
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
