Aria needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Aria needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,550.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom4,168 views
Aria lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the London 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 $3,550.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Aria 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 $3,550 goes:
• braille note-taker: $3,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $230
• Delivery and set-up: $65
• First-year servicing plan: $255
Every share and every dollar helps.
