Aubree needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Aubree needs a braille note-taker that the health system will not fund; the cost is $8,250.
🇺🇸 Albany, New York, United States6,223 views
Aubree lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Albany Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,250.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Aubree 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 $8,250 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $440
• Delivery and set-up: $65
• braille note-taker: $7,745
Thanks for being kind about this.
