Bilal needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Help Bilal get a braille note-taker so He can join the school sports day.
🇪🇬 Egypt1,022 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Cairo Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $350.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $350 goes:
• braille note-taker: $290
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $10
With deep gratitude,
Bilal
