Michelle needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Help Michelle get a braille note-taker so She can go to school independently.
🇺🇸 Florida, United States2,595 views
Michelle lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Miami Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,600.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Michelle could go to school independently. 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 $2,600 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $130
• braille note-taker: $2,200
• First-year servicing plan: $270
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Michelle?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about delivery and set-up, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Get well soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Saint Petersburg.
Best of luck, Isaac. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Isaac. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
