Louise needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
A braille note-taker would give Louise independence - we're $2,700 away.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Brampton Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,700.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $2,700 goes:
• braille note-taker: $2,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $175
• Delivery and set-up: $165
• First-year servicing plan: $360
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
