Nida needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Help Nida get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can join the school sports day.
🇵🇰 Sindh, Pakistan406 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Karachi 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 $500.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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 $500 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $420
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $35
With deep gratitude,
Nida

Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. After 27 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Recife.
Wishing you peace, Nida. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Nida. Get well soon. Greetings from Addis Ababa.
