A braille note-taker for Imran: help me move freely
Help Imran get a braille note-taker so He can speak with the people around him.

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Narayanganj 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 $300.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $300 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $35
• braille note-taker: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $45
Thank you for reading my story.
