Independence for Eden: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Eden independence - we are $450 away.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Addis Ababa 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 $450.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $450 goes:
• braille note-taker: $370
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $35
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

take care, Eden. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan
Thinking of you, Eden. Hope this works out for you. After 29 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Mthatha so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
