Gerardo needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Gerardo needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $700.

Gerardo lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Iztapalapa 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 $700.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Gerardo 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $700 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• braille note-taker: $585
Every share and every dollar helps.

Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
