A braille note-taker for Neelam: help Neelam move freely
Neelam needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,050.

Neelam lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Hubballi 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 $1,050.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Neelam 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 $1,050 goes:
• braille note-taker: $960
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $20
Every share and every dollar helps.

Praying for you, Karan. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Hubballi.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Hubballi.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Karan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Chiang Mai
