Victor lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Angeles 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 $950. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Victor could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $950 goes: • braille note-taker: $810 • Fitting and training sessions: $65 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $45 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Leo

  1. Update from Angeles: the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. We're at 29% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Small update. $195 so far, the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled.
