Independence for Valentina: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Valentina independence - we're $550 away.

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Seville Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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:
• First-year servicing plan: $145
• Fitting and training sessions: $270
• Delivery and set-up: $135
I hope life is good to you.

Stay strong, Valentina. Hope you get there.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Jimma.
Sending strength, Valentina. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Thủ Đức this morning. Thinking of Seville.
Praying for you, Valentina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Seville.
Thinking of you, Valentina. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
thanks for sharing this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
rooting for you, Valentina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 13 people at work. All the best.
