Independence for Jan: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Jan independence - we're $4,550 away.
🇩🇪 Germany6,134 views
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.

rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Riverside but we're thinking of you. Love from Riverside.
Sending good thoughts, Anton. Hope this works out for you.
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
