I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Liverpool 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 $7,650. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $7,650 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $220 • First-year servicing plan: $200 • braille note-taker: $7,230 Thank you so much.
