Mercy needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Help Mercy get a braille note-taker so She can join the school sports day.
🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria466 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Ibadan General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $900 goes:
• braille note-taker: $830
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $25
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

so sorry you're going through this, Mercy. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Raleigh.
Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Hope you get there. Greetings from Mangaluru.
