Yumi lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Setagaya 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 $3,850. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Yumi 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 $3,850 goes: • braille note-taker: $3,550 • Delivery and set-up: $50 • Fitting and training sessions: $250 With deep gratitude, Taiga
