Independence for Pankaj: braille note-taker
Help Pankaj get a braille note-taker so He can go to school independently.
🇨🇦 Canada5,286 views
Pankaj lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Ottawa General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,350.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Pankaj could go to school independently. 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 $3,350 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• braille note-taker: $3,000
• Delivery and set-up: $130
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
