Independence for Zenaida: braille note-taker

A braille note-taker would give Zenaida independence - we're $1,050 away.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Lapu-Lapu General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,050 goes: • braille note-taker: $930 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $55 Every share and every dollar helps. - Zenaida

  1. Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($107). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

    Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from São Paulo.
