Zapopan
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Zapopan Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,100. 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 to school independently. 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 $2,100 goes: • braille note-taker: $1,850 • Fitting and training sessions: $115 • Delivery and set-up: $45 • First-year servicing plan: $90 Thanks for reading all this.
