A braille note-taker for Faith: help Faith move freely
Help Faith get a braille note-taker so She can join the school sports day.
🇹🇿 Tanzania1,171 views
Faith lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Kinondoni 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 $900.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Faith could join the school sports day. 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 $900 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $25
• braille note-taker: $820
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
Updates from Collins
Thank you all. We're at 68% now ($612). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.

sending love, Collins. Hope you get there. God bless
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kinondoni!
Thank you. If you're in Kinondoni I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you and your family, Collins. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Springfield but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Faith a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up. Blessings
hang in there, Collins. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
