Natalia needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Natalia needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,400.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Leeds Mobility Clinic 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 $6,400.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $6,400 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $6,000
• First-year servicing plan: $280
• Fitting and training sessions: $120
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
