Kevin needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
A braille note-taker would give Kevin independence - we're $4,000 away.
🇮🇪 Ireland2,383 views
Kevin lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Dublin 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 $4,000.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Kevin could speak with the people around him. 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 $4,000 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $185
• First-year servicing plan: $200
• braille note-taker: $3,615
Thank you so much.
