Independence for Shahana: braille note-taker
Help Shahana get a braille note-taker so She can attend work interviews.
🇧🇩 Cox's Bazar, Chattogram, Bangladesh1,083 views
Shahana lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Cox's Bazar Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $355.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Shahana could attend work interviews. 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 $355 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• braille note-taker: $330
• Delivery and set-up: $5
Thanks for being kind about this.

Get well soon. Love from Leicester.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Tanvir. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
