Khadija needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Help Khadija get a braille note-taker so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Lagos 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 $500.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $500 goes:
• braille note-taker: $410
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Khadija
Good news. Because of your gifts ($204 in total) the plan for delivery and set-up is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Stay strong, Khadija. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Polokwane so I could bring a meal.
Hope things get better soon, Khadija. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 21 people at work. God bless
