Sachin needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Sachin needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $900.
🇮🇳 India691 views
Sachin lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Ludhiana Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Sachin could speak with the people around him. 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 $900 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $830
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $10
I hope life is good to you.
