Fahad needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
A braille note-taker would give Fahad independence - we're $800 away.

Fahad lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Peshawar 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 $800.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Fahad could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $800 goes:
• braille note-taker: $750
• First-year servicing plan: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $25
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending strength, Rizwan. Get well soon.
Hope it all works out, Rizwan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Sukkur donated after I showed her your page
