Lucía lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Ciudad de México Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,350. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Lucía could join the school sports day. 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 $2,350 goes: • braille note-taker: $2,200 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $95 Glad we found this place. - Alejandro
