Independence for Nilmini: braille note-taker
Help Nilmini get a braille note-taker so She can attend work interviews.
Anywhere in the world900 views
Nilmini lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Kandy Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Nilmini could attend work interviews. 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 $1,150 goes:
• braille note-taker: $1,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $25
If you're reading this, thank you.
