A braille note-taker for Pranav: help Pranav move freely
Help Pranav get a braille note-taker so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,058 views
Pranav lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Mumbai General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Pranav could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $550 goes:
• braille note-taker: $470
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $25
I hope life is good to you.

Keep going, Pradeep. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Bonny.
Sending love. Wishing Pranav a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
