Rita needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Rita needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $600.

Rita lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Lalitpur Rehabilitation Centre 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 $600.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Rita could go to school independently. 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 $600 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $540
Thank you for reading my story.
