Daniel needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Daniel needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,800.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,841 views
Daniel lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Coatzacoalcos 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 $2,800.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Daniel 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $90
• braille note-taker: $2,650
I hope life is good to you.
