A braille note-taker for Yasemin: help Yasemin move freely
A braille note-taker would give Yasemin independence - we're $600 away.

Yasemin lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Bursa Rehabilitation Centre 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 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Yasemin could join the school sports day. 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:
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• braille note-taker: $510
• First-year servicing plan: $25
