A braille note-taker for Eliane: help Eliane move freely
A braille note-taker would give Eliane independence - we're $200 away.

Eliane lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Santos Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $200.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Eliane could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $200 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $85
• Delivery and set-up: $45
• Fitting and training sessions: $70
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there, Fábio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
thinking of you, Fábio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
So sorry you're going through this, Fábio. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Thinking of you. Get well soon. Thinking of Santos.
take care, Fábio. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
praying for you, Fábio. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Sending strength, Fábio. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thanks for sharing this, Fábio. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Campinas.
stay strong, Fábio. Get well soon. Love from Tuxtla Gutiérrez.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 15 people at work
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Glasgow.
Rooting for you, Fábio. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Bursa donated after I showed her your page.
