Jumoke needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Jumoke needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $800.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,544 views
Jumoke lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Epe Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Jumoke 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 $800 goes:
• braille note-taker: $690
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $35
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Yakubu. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Dublin so I could bring a meal.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Wishing you the best, Yakubu. Looking forward to the next update.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Sukkur so I could bring a meal
