Isaiah lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the London Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,450. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Isaiah could join the school sports day. 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 $4,450 goes: • braille note-taker: $3,800 • Fitting and training sessions: $220 • Delivery and set-up: $200 • First-year servicing plan: $230 Thank you so much.

Updates from Shawn

  1. Small update. $437 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 8% funded and I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 2% now ($106). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions.

          Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 13 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
