Independence for Nana: braille note-taker

A braille note-taker would give Nana independence - we're $1,500 away.

Madina
Nana lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Madina Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,500. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Nana could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,500 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $25 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • braille note-taker: $1,440 Thanks for reading all this. - Mavis

    Good luck, Mavis. This could happen to any of us.

    • Saar Smits

      Wishing you peace, Mavis. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

      • Esther Lilian Zakari

        I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Messina

          Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Rajkot donated after I showed her your page

          • Jose M. Dean

            Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

            • Anand F. Meena

              praying for you, Mavis. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Madina.
