A braille note-taker for Samuel: help Samuel move freely
A braille note-taker would give Samuel independence - we're $6,450 away.
🇦🇺 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia6,380 views
Samuel lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Melbourne Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,450.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Samuel 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 $6,450 goes:
• braille note-taker: $5,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $230
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $410
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

rooting for you, Maverick. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
best of luck, Maverick. Shared it with a few friends. After 21 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Keep going, Maverick. Wishing Samuel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Fort Worth donated after I showed her your page.
Wishing you the best, Maverick. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
