I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Tokyo 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 $6,000. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $6,000 goes: • braille note-taker: $5,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $230 • Delivery and set-up: $50 • First-year servicing plan: $220 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

        Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope June is when things finally get easier. All the best

          Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Nizamabad
