Independence for Gita: braille note-taker
Help Gita get a braille note-taker so She can attend work interviews.
🇳🇵 Nepal830 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Lalitpur 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 $900.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $900 goes:
• braille note-taker: $810
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Gita. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Kadıköy but we're thinking of you. All the best
