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
