A braille note-taker for Simona: help Simona move freely
Help Simona get a braille note-taker so She can attend work interviews.
🇮🇹 Italy746 views
Simona lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Verona 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 $1,800.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Simona 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 $1,800 goes:
• braille note-taker: $1,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $90
• Delivery and set-up: $165
• First-year servicing plan: $245

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Simona?
Thank you. If you're in Verona I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Pretoria.
Take care, Alice. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Gwagwalada.
