A braille note-taker for Safiatou: help Safiatou move freely
Safiatou needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $5,450.

Safiatou lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Strasbourg Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,450.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Safiatou could attend work interviews. 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 $5,450 goes:
• braille note-taker: $5,250
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• Fitting and training sessions: $145
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

praying for you, Bakary. Wishing Safiatou a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Vadodara so I could bring a meal. Love from Liverpool.
Wishing you peace, Bakary. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Kasarani donated after I showed her your page.
Rooting for you, Bakary. Get well soon. We're a small family in Mbarara but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Mbarara
