Manuela needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen

Help Manuela get a braille note-taker so She can speak with the people around her.

Curitiba
Manuela lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Curitiba 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 $2,050. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Manuela could speak with the people around her. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $2,050 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $55 • braille note-taker: $1,900 • Fitting and training sessions: $95 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      is there anything that isn't money that would help Manuela?

        Thank you. If you're in Curitiba I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

          Best of luck, Mateus. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
