A braille note-taker for Karolina: help Karolina move freely
A braille note-taker would give Karolina independence - we're $1,150 away.

Karolina lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Katowice General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Karolina 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• braille note-taker: $870
• Fitting and training sessions: $80
• Delivery and set-up: $85
• First-year servicing plan: $115
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Kacper
Good news. Because of your gifts ($253 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Katowice: we've started the first stage. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
wishing Karolina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. After 20 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Love from Łódź.
