A braille note-taker for Abril: help me move freely
A braille note-taker would give Abril independence - we're $1,050 away.

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Ciudad de México Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $1,050 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• Fitting and training sessions: $90
• braille note-taker: $910
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
