Independence for Sumon: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Sumon independence - we're $550 away.
🇧🇩 Bangladesh940 views
Sumon lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Savar Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Sumon could speak with the people around him. 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 $550 goes:
• braille note-taker: $490
• First-year servicing plan: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
