I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Kinondoni Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $950 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $25 • braille note-taker: $900 • Fitting and training sessions: $25 Thanks for being kind about this. - Bakari

    Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Palmira.
