Miles needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
A braille note-taker would give Miles independence - we're $7,050 away.
🇺🇸 United States3,382 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Phoenix 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 $7,050.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $7,050 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $400
• Delivery and set-up: $140
• braille note-taker: $6,510
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 9 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
thinking of you and your family, Miles. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Kampala
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Phoenix.
Hope it all works out, Miles. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Blessings
