Rhea needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Help Rhea get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can speak with the people around her.
Anywhere in the world2,230 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Pasig 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 $1,000.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $1,000 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $920
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $20
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
is there anything that isn't money that would help Rhea?
you're not alone, Rhea. Hope you get there.
Keep going, Rhea. Looking forward to the next update. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
