Hauwa needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Hauwa needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $950.
🇳🇬 Benin City, Edo, Nigeria1,468 views
Hauwa lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Benin City General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Hauwa 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $950 goes:
• braille note-taker: $900
• First-year servicing plan: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $15
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Los Angeles.
Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Mansoura this morning. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Adewale. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Savannah.
