Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Yasir in Zagazig
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Yasir independence - we're $1,050 away.

Yasir lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Zagazig General Hospital 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 $1,050.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Yasir 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $970
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• First-year servicing plan: $35

any update on how things are going in Zagazig?
thinking of you, Asma. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Asma. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Zagazig.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Zagazig
Thank you. If you're in Zagazig I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Wishing you the best, Asma. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
Sending love, Asma. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Zagazig.
I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Sending love, Asma. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
