Independence for Bola: braille note-taker
Help Bola get a braille note-taker so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇳🇬 Kaduna, Kaduna, Nigeria772 views
Bola lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Kaduna 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 $500.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Bola could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $500 goes:
• braille note-taker: $430
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $35
Every share and every dollar helps.

Keep going. Shared this with my family. After 14 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Kaduna. I'll ask around and let you know.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Bekasi
You're not alone, Fatima. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Kaduna
