Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Zoya in Abbottabad
Zoya needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $650.
🇵🇰 Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan539 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Abbottabad 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 $650.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 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 $650 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $600
• Fitting and training sessions: $15
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.

Stay strong, Zoya. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Calamba
