Independence for Stefania: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Stefania independence - we're $4,550 away.
🇮🇹 Italy3,216 views
Stefania lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Brescia General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,550.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Stefania could speak with the people around her. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $230
• Delivery and set-up: $80
• braille note-taker: $4,240
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Stefania?
Thank you. If you're in Brescia I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending strength, Leonardo. This could happen to any of us. Love from Pune.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Blessings
good luck, Leonardo. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Seoul but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
best of luck, Leonardo. Shared this with my family. Take care
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Regensburg donated after I showed her your page!
Wishing you peace, Leonardo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 17 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Brescia.
So sorry you're going through this, Leonardo. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
