Paulo needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Paulo independence - we are $2,400 away.
🇧🇷 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil458 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Rio de Janeiro General Hospital 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 $2,400.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $115
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $105
Thank you so much.
- Paulo

Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Paulo a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Stay strong, Paulo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Saint Petersburg.
Wishing you peace, Paulo. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Tlaquepaque this morning
