🇺🇸 United States972 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Rockford Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,200.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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 $4,200 goes:
• braille note-taker: $3,700
• Fitting and training sessions: $150
• Delivery and set-up: $80
• First-year servicing plan: $270
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Genesis
Quick update: $77 raised so far (2%). I made the first payment toward braille note-taker. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Rockford: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($347). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Nakuru.
Hope things get better soon, Genesis. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.
Get well soon. Love from Irapuato
keep going, Genesis. Wishing Genesis a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Rockford
Praying for you, Genesis. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
