Independence for Josephine: braille note-taker
Help Josephine get a braille note-taker so She can join the school sports day.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom2,710 views
Josephine lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Birmingham General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,250.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Josephine 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 $5,250 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $200
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• braille note-taker: $4,955
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Colombo donated after I showed her your page.
you're not alone, Jacob. Wishing Josephine a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.
hope things get better soon, Jacob. Shared this with my family.
So sorry you're going through this, Jacob. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
