Hannah lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Tel Aviv 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 $6,750. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Hannah could join the school sports day. 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 $6,750 goes: • braille note-taker: $6,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $280 • Delivery and set-up: $110 • First-year servicing plan: $110 Thank you so much. - Efrat
