A braille note-taker for Jihan: help me move freely
A braille note-taker would give Jihan independence - we're $900 away.
🇮🇩 Indonesia1,071 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Bandung 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 $900.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $900 goes:
• braille note-taker: $780
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $65
If you're reading this, thank you.

stay strong, Jihan. Get well soon.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jihan.
It's all in the list in the story. braille note-taker is the big one at $780, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
You're not alone, Jihan. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bandung
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about braille note-taker, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Half-Way Tree
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Richards Bay.
