Newcastle

Addison lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Newcastle Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,500. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Addison 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $7,500 goes: • braille note-taker: $7,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $185 • Delivery and set-up: $70 • First-year servicing plan: $245 Every share and every dollar helps. - Zoe
