Independence for Irina: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Irina independence - we're $700 away.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Yekaterinburg 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 $700.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $700 goes:
• braille note-taker: $600
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
