Amanda lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the São Paulo 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 $2,650. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Amanda 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $2,650 goes: • braille note-taker: $2,450 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $55 • First-year servicing plan: $95 Thanks for being kind about this.
