Denisa needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
A braille note-taker would give Denisa independence - we're $2,800 away.
🇷🇴 Iași, Iași, Romania2,872 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Iași General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,800.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $2,800 goes:
• braille note-taker: $2,550
• First-year servicing plan: $125
• Fitting and training sessions: $125
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Denisa
Small update. $904 so far, the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($502). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

Praying for you, Denisa. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Machakos.
So sorry you're going through this, Denisa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
Take care, Denisa. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Praying for you, Denisa. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Iași. I'll ask around and let you know!
