A braille note-taker for Brian: help Brian move freely
Help Brian get a braille note-taker so He can join the school sports day.
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda577 views
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.
