Rachel lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Cleveland 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 $3,200. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Rachel could go to school independently. 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 $3,200 goes: • braille note-taker: $2,850 • First-year servicing plan: $210 • Fitting and training sessions: $140 Thank you for reading my story. - Lawrence
