Help Jackson get a braille note-taker so He can join the school sports day.
Anywhere in the world7,513 views
Jackson lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Erie General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,200.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Jackson 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $8,200 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• First-year servicing plan: $340
• braille note-taker: $7,765
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck, Skylar. Wishing Jackson a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Jaffna.
Keep going, Skylar. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours

Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Erie
