Milan
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Milan 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 $4,350. 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 get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $4,350 goes: • braille note-taker: $3,900 • Fitting and training sessions: $230 • Delivery and set-up: $70 • First-year servicing plan: $150 Every share and every dollar helps. - Elisa
