Independence for Neema: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Neema independence - we're $1,300 away.
🇰🇪 Eldoret, Uasin Gishu, Kenya1,972 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Eldoret Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $1,300 goes:
• braille note-taker: $1,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $60
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope it all works out, Neema. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Sherbrooke.
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Johannesburg this morning
Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 13 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Duisburg.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
