Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Susanne in Berlin
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Susanne independence - we're $2,450 away.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Berlin, Germany1,101 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Berlin Rehabilitation Centre 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 $2,450.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,800
• Fitting and training sessions: $320
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• First-year servicing plan: $240
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope it all works out, Susanne. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 38 people at work. Love from Rawalpindi.
