A braille note-taker for Brandon: help Brandon move freely
Help Brandon get a braille note-taker so He can speak with the people around him.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom2,441 views
Brandon lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Manchester Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,300.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Brandon could speak with the people around him. 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 $4,300 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $250
• braille note-taker: $3,950
• Delivery and set-up: $100
Thanks for being kind about this.

Praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Manila donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Manila.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
