I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Munich 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 $3,550.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $100
• Fitting and training sessions: $145
• braille note-taker: $3,305
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Fabian
Update from Munich: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 57% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Fabian
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,498 in total) the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fabian!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. delivery and set-up is the biggest at $100. Thanks, that means a lot.
You're not alone, Fabian. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Cox's Bazar.
Best of luck, Fabian. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Praying for you, Fabian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Jodhpur.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Manila!
take care, Fabian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Fabian a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Munich.
