Independence for Jan: braille note-taker

A braille note-taker would give Jan independence - we're $4,550 away.

Munich
Jan lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Munich 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 $4,550. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Jan could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $4,550 goes: • braille note-taker: $4,250 • Delivery and set-up: $160 • First-year servicing plan: $140 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Anton
