A braille note-taker for Pilar: help Pilar move freely
Help Pilar get a braille note-taker so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇨🇴 Colombia1,849 views
Pilar lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Envigado Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,850.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Pilar could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• braille note-taker: $1,650
• Fitting and training sessions: $80
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $80
I hope life is good to you.

Sending love, Sebastián. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Envigado.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Pilar?
Thank you. If you're in Envigado I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you, Sebastián. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
So sorry you're going through this, Sebastián. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
