Independence for María: braille note-taker

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
