Independence for Mahesh: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Mahesh independence - we're $700 away.

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Noida Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $700 goes:
• braille note-taker: $580
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thinking of you and your family, Mahesh. Looking forward to the next update.
