Bukola needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Help Bukola get a braille note-taker so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇳🇬 Bonny, Rivers, Nigeria610 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Bonny Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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 $600 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $65
• braille note-taker: $515
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Bukola
Update from Bonny: the plan for braille note-taker is now scheduled. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
9% there. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Thank you. - Bukola
Good news. Because of your gifts ($25 in total) I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning. Love from Birmingham!
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bonny.
Thank you. If you're in Bonny I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
good luck, Bukola. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
sending love, Bukola. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Bonny.
praying for you, Bukola. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Udaipur
Keep going, Bukola. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Tuxtla Gutiérrez.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending good thoughts, Bukola. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Hồ Chí Minh City but we're thinking of you. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
hang in there, Bukola. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
