A braille note-taker for Inés: help Inés move freely
Inés needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,100.
🇲🇽 Tehuacán, Puebla, Mexico1,057 views
Inés lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Tehuacán 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 $2,100.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Inés could speak with the people around her. 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 $2,100 goes:
• braille note-taker: $2,000
• First-year servicing plan: $70
• Delivery and set-up: $30
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family, Esteban. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
any update on how things are going in Tehuacán?
Rooting for you, Esteban. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Los Angeles.
hope it all works out, Esteban. Hope you get there. God bless.
you're not alone, Esteban. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. All the best.
