Independence for Irene: braille note-taker
Help Irene get a braille note-taker so She can speak with the people around her.
🇦🇷 Argentina1,063 views
Irene lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Buenos Aires Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $200.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Irene could speak with the people around her. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $200 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $100
• Fitting and training sessions: $85
• Delivery and set-up: $15
If you're reading this, thank you.
