Independence for Tommaso: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Tommaso independence - we're $5,050 away.

Tommaso lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Bologna 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 $5,050.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Tommaso could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $5,050 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $230
• Fitting and training sessions: $120
• braille note-taker: $4,700
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this, Sofia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
