Ana lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Bogotá 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 $200. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Ana could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $200 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $60 • Delivery and set-up: $45 • Fitting and training sessions: $95 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
