I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Nottingham 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 $2,850. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $2,850 goes: • braille note-taker: $2,350 • Fitting and training sessions: $185 • Delivery and set-up: $115 • First-year servicing plan: $200 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • Hang in there, Grayson. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Huntsville.

    • Thinking of you and your family, Grayson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Nottingham.

      • Stay strong, Grayson. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
