Chinedu needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Chinedu needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $650.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,160 views
Chinedu lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Lagos Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Chinedu could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $650 goes:
• braille note-taker: $570
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Thanks for being kind about this.

thinking of you, Khadija. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Sending love, Khadija. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Pune
Keep going, Khadija. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
