A braille note-taker for Letícia: help Letícia move freely
Help Letícia get a braille note-taker so She can attend work interviews.
🇧🇷 Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil1,812 views
Letícia lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Niterói 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 $1,100.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Letícia could attend work interviews. 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 $1,100 goes:
• braille note-taker: $930
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Every share and every dollar helps.

hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update
best of luck. Wishing Letícia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care!
Sending strength, Luciana. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Hang in there, Luciana. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Santos donated after I showed her your page.
