Segun needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Segun needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,050.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria1,278 views
Segun lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Ikeja Rehabilitation Centre 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 $1,050.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Segun could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,050 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $30
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $990
• Delivery and set-up: $30
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Temitope. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Best of luck, Temitope. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
praying for you, Temitope. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from São Paulo
Thinking of you, Temitope. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Lucknow but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you, Temitope. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Johannesburg
Hang in there. Hope you get there. Thinking of Ikeja
