Independence for Sebastião: braille note-taker

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Santos Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,450. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $2,450 goes: • braille note-taker: $2,300 • Fitting and training sessions: $60 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $70 Glad we found this place.
