A braille note-taker for Julia: help me move freely
Help Julia get a braille note-taker so She can join the school sports day.
🇩🇪 Germany434 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Berlin 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 $5,950.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $5,950 goes:
• braille note-taker: $5,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $135
• Delivery and set-up: $70
• First-year servicing plan: $245
If you're reading this, thank you.

So sorry you're going through this, Julia. Get well soon. After 7 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Berlin.
