Eka needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Help Eka get a braille note-taker so She can go to school independently.
🇮🇩 Indonesia606 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Depok 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 $600.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $600 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• braille note-taker: $550
Thank you so much.
Updates from Eka
We're at 26% thanks to 4 of you. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($413 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Udaipur this morning. God bless.
Stay strong, Eka. I hope things turn around soon
hope things get better soon, Eka. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Depok.
Thinking of you, Eka. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Depok.
Hope it all works out, Eka. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
