Lagos
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Lagos 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 $850. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 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 $850 goes: โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $20 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $45 โ€ข braille note-taker: $785 Thanks for reading all this. - Rotimi
