I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Gdańsk Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,300.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• braille note-taker: $3,150
• First-year servicing plan: $75
• Delivery and set-up: $75
If you're reading this, thank you.
