Lincoln needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
A braille note-taker would give Lincoln independence - we're $7,700 away.

Lincoln lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Toronto 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 $7,700.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Lincoln 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $7,700 goes:
• braille note-taker: $7,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $330
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• First-year servicing plan: $225
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
