A braille note-taker for Dinesh: help me move freely
Dinesh needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,250.
🇱🇰 Galle, Southern, Sri Lanka584 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Galle 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 $1,250.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 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 $1,250 goes:
• braille note-taker: $1,150
• First-year servicing plan: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $55
If you're reading this, thank you.
