A braille note-taker for Arianna: help me move freely
Help Arianna get a braille note-taker so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇺🇸 San Antonio, Texas, United States1,884 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the San Antonio 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 $6,050.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,050 goes:
• braille note-taker: $5,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $180
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• First-year servicing plan: $225
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 23 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Rawalpindi.
Sending strength, Arianna. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
