A braille note-taker for Robert: help me move freely
Help Robert get a braille note-taker so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇵🇱 Poland1,424 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Wrocław Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,350.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $3,350 goes:
• braille note-taker: $3,200
• First-year servicing plan: $95
• Delivery and set-up: $55
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
