Independence for Yoav: braille note-taker
A braille note-taker would give Yoav independence - we're $6,950 away.
🇮🇱 Beersheba, Southern, Israel5,288 views
Yoav lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Beersheba 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 $6,950.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Yoav 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,950 goes:
• braille note-taker: $6,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $150
• Delivery and set-up: $135
• First-year servicing plan: $165
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this, Rivka. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
