Independence for Usman: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Usman independence - we're $350 away.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan1,544 views
Usman lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Lahore Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $350.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Usman 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $350 goes:
• braille note-taker: $300
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $15

Take care, Talha. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
