Henry lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Frankfurt 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 $2,750.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Henry 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• braille note-taker: $2,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $200
• First-year servicing plan: $280
Thanks for reading all this.
