Independence for Salma: braille note-taker

Help Salma get a braille note-taker so She can go to school independently.

Nagpur
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Nagpur Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,000 goes: • braille note-taker: $890 • Fitting and training sessions: $25 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $60 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Salma

Updates from Salma

  1. Update from Nagpur: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 68% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($460 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
