A braille note-taker for Varsha: help Varsha move freely
Varsha needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $600.

Varsha lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Hubballi General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Varsha could speak with the people around her. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $600 goes:
• braille note-taker: $520
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $20
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
