Letícia needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
A braille note-taker would give Letícia independence - we are $2,000 away.
🇧🇷 Contagem, Minas Gerais, Brazil716 views
Letícia lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Contagem General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,000.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Letícia could go to school independently. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• braille note-taker: $1,885
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
