Garima needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Garima needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $700.
🇮🇳 India786 views
Garima lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Mysuru Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Garima could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $700 goes:
• braille note-taker: $610
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $45
With deep gratitude,
Geeta

Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($164). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 22% funded and I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.
