Marilyn needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $10,600.

Marilyn lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Cleveland 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 $10,600.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Marilyn 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 $10,600 goes:
• braille note-taker: $10,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $230
• Delivery and set-up: $155
• First-year servicing plan: $215
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 14 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Comilla.
Praying for you, Dylan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Nashik donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Take care, Dylan. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings
Rooting for you, Dylan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Dylan. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Dar es Salaam but we're thinking of you
Thinking of you, Dylan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Kozhikode
Wishing you peace, Dylan. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
So sorry you're going through this, Dylan. Shared it with a few friends. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Cleveland.
