Cairo
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Cairo Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $400 goes: • braille note-taker: $300 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $25 Glad we found this place.
