Saar lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Rotterdam 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 $7,950. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Saar could speak with the people around her. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $7,950 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $135 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $7,500 • First-year servicing plan: $315 Thank you so much.
