Viktor lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Kyiv Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,400. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Viktor 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 $1,400 goes: • braille note-taker: $1,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $70 If you're reading this, thank you.
