Caloocan
Jenny lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Caloocan Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Jenny 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,350 goes: • braille note-taker: $1,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $55 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Cecilia

      • Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Caloocan.
