A braille note-taker for Claudia: help me move freely
Help Claudia get a braille note-taker so She can speak with the people around her.
🇦🇷 Argentina571 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Mar del Plata General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $800 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• braille note-taker: $750
• First-year servicing plan: $25
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Claudia
Small update. $237 so far, I made the first payment toward braille note-taker.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($87 in total) I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $87 raised so far (11%). I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mar del Plata
Thank you. If you're in Mar del Plata I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Take care, Claudia. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Liverpool.
Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Claudia. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thinking of you, Claudia. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best.
