A braille note-taker for Rodrigo: help Rodrigo move freely
A braille note-taker would give Rodrigo independence - we are $6,950 away.

Rodrigo lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Alcalá de Henares 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 $6,950.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Rodrigo could speak with the people around him. 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 $6,950 goes:
• braille note-taker: $6,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $170
• Delivery and set-up: $150
• First-year servicing plan: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.

Keep going, Josefa. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.
Hope it all works out, Josefa. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Karachi donated after I showed her your page
