Brian lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Kampala 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 $700. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Brian could join the school sports day. 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 $700 goes: • braille note-taker: $610 • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $40 If you're reading this, thank you.
