A braille note-taker for Antônia: help Antônia move freely
Help Antônia get a braille note-taker so She can attend work interviews.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil2,221 views
Antônia lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the São Paulo 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 $2,650.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Antônia could attend work interviews. 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 $2,650 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $100
• First-year servicing plan: $80
• braille note-taker: $2,470
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength. Get well soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of São Paulo.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 19 people at work.
Hang in there, Fábio. Hope you get there. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Fábio. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Stay strong, Fábio. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
