Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Shuvo in Jessore
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Shuvo independence - we're $1,200 away.
🇧🇩 Jessore, Khulna, Bangladesh1,944 views
Shuvo lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Jessore 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 $1,200.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Shuvo could go to school independently. 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 $1,200 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,100
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $50

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. After 15 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Jessore.
Thinking of you, Moumita. Wishing Shuvo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Stay strong, Moumita. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Tamale.
Hope things get better soon, Moumita. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Orlando so I could bring a meal.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Machakos
