Ethan needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
A braille note-taker would give Ethan independence - we're $800 away.
🇨🇦 Mississauga, Ontario, Canada1,256 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Mississauga Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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 $800 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $85
• First-year servicing plan: $390
• Fitting and training sessions: $325
I hope life is good to you.
- Ethan
