Independence for Sadie: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Sadie independence - we are $4,950 away.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States6,005 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Sacramento 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 $4,950.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $210
• braille note-taker: $4,550
• Delivery and set-up: $190
Thanks for being kind about this.
