A braille note-taker for Emre: help Emre move freely
Emre needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,150.

Emre lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Kassel Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,150.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Emre could speak with the people around him. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $210
• braille note-taker: $3,850
• Delivery and set-up: $90
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing Emre a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from London.
Sending good thoughts, Pınar. Looking forward to the next update.
You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Thinking of you, Pınar. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Kassel.
Hope it all works out, Pınar. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Sending good thoughts, Pınar. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
