Independence for Theodore: braille note-taker
Help Theodore get a braille note-taker so He can join the school sports day.
🇬🇧 Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom5,398 views
Theodore lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Aberdeen General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,500.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Theodore could join the school sports day. 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 $7,500 goes:
• braille note-taker: $7,250
• First-year servicing plan: $195
• Delivery and set-up: $55
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going, Alexander. Hope you get there. Love from Paris.
Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 29 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Aberdeen!
Stay strong, Alexander. Your post was clear and honest
Sending good thoughts, Alexander. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Tel Aviv.

Hang in there, Alexander. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Pasig but we're thinking of you. God bless.

Hope it all works out, Alexander. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
