Qing needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Qing needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,450.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada2,806 views
Qing lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Toronto General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,450.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Qing could attend work interviews. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
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 $4,450 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $3,600
• Fitting and training sessions: $410
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• First-year servicing plan: $295
Every share and every dollar helps.
