Independence for Elijah: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Elijah independence - we're $6,350 away.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom628 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Birmingham 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 $6,350.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $6,350 goes:
• braille note-taker: $6,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• First-year servicing plan: $150
Thanks for reading all this.
