Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Amira in Casablanca
A braille note-taker would give Amira independence - we're $1,600 away.
🇲🇦 Casablanca, Casablanca-Settat, Morocco3,774 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Casablanca 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 $1,600.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $1,600 goes:
• braille note-taker: $1,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $25
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
Best of luck, Amira. Hope you get there. After 7 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Kanpur
Sending love, Amira. Hope this works out for you. After 24 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Amira. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
wishing you the best, Amira. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Casablanca.
Sending good thoughts, Amira. Your post was clear and honest
Stay strong, Amira. Shared this with my family. Love from Riverside.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Toronto but we're thinking of you.
Good luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Bangkok
