Independence for Oana: braille note-taker
Help Oana get a braille note-taker so She can go to school independently.
🇷🇴 Romania2,332 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Timișoara General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,500.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• braille note-taker: $1,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $65
• First-year servicing plan: $85
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone, Oana. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Timișoara.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Timiș. I'll ask around and let you know
Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Moscow.
