Patrizia needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Patrizia independence - we're $6,050 away.
🇮🇹 Latina, Lazio, Italy4,730 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Latina 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 $6,050.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $6,050 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $135
• First-year servicing plan: $160
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $5,755
I hope life is good to you.
