Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Galit in Jerusalem

Galit needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $5,450.

Jerusalem
Galit lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Jerusalem 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 $5,450. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Galit could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $5,450 goes: • braille note-taker: $4,900 • Fitting and training sessions: $200 • Delivery and set-up: $60 • First-year servicing plan: $290 Glad we found this place. - Eitan

    Outstanding person

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

        Thinking of you and your family, Eitan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Jerusalem.

            Stay strong, Eitan. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Jerusalem.
