A braille note-taker for Yewande: help Yewande move freely

Yewande needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $950.

Yewande lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Ogbomosho 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 $950. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Yewande 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 $950 goes: • braille note-taker: $840 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $60 Glad we found this place. - Chidinma
