Anton needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Anton needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,050.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Malmö General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,050.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $4,050 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $180
• Delivery and set-up: $185
• braille note-taker: $3,685
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
