Enzo lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Santarém Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,150.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Enzo could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• braille note-taker: $2,050
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $65
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Enzo
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. braille note-taker comes first ($2,050) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
