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.
