Adrián needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Help Adrián get a braille note-taker so He can go to school independently.
Anywhere in the world1,704 views
Adrián lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Xalapa General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,200.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Adrián could go to school independently. 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 $2,200 goes:
• braille note-taker: $2,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $130
If you're reading this, thank you.

keep going, Paloma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Xalapa.
Rooting for you. Wishing Adrián a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning. Take care.
sending good thoughts, Paloma. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Xalapa.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Brooklyn so I could bring a meal. God bless.
