A braille note-taker for Teresa: help me move freely
A braille note-taker would give Teresa independence - we are $8,600 away.
🇨🇦 Calgary, Alberta, CanadaPosted Oct 1, 20267,108 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Calgary 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 $8,600.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $8,600 goes:
• braille note-taker: $8,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $240
• Delivery and set-up: $170
• First-year servicing plan: $190
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Sending love, Teresa. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Miami
Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Tuxtla Gutiérrez
