Megan needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Help Megan get a braille note-taker so She can attend work interviews.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Arlington 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 $6,150.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,150 goes:
• braille note-taker: $5,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $340
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• First-year servicing plan: $220
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon, Megan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Arlington.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Mississauga.
Sending good thoughts, Megan. Get well soon. Take care.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Birmingham.
Sending strength, Megan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Christchurch but we're thinking of you. All the best
Rooting for you, Megan. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal.
