A braille note-taker for Fabian: help me move freely
A braille note-taker would give Fabian independence - we're $4,500 away.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Berlin 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 $4,500.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 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 $4,500 goes:
• braille note-taker: $3,900
• Fitting and training sessions: $320
• Delivery and set-up: $75
• First-year servicing plan: $205
Thank you for reading my story.

Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. braille note-taker comes first ($3,900) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
