Independence for Lakshmi: braille note-taker

Lakshmi lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Hubballi 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 $600. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Lakshmi 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 $600 goes: • braille note-taker: $540 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $25 Thank you so much. - Nandini
