Independence for María: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Marían independence - we're $7,950 away.

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Colorado Springs 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 $7,950.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $7,950 goes:
• braille note-taker: $7,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $250
• Delivery and set-up: $130
• First-year servicing plan: $320
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
- María

Wishing you the best, María. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.
rooting for you, María. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Hope it all works out, María. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
