Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Gül in Istanbul
Help Gül get a braille note-taker so She can speak with the people around her.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye751 views
Gül lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Istanbul 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 $1,100.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Gül could speak with the people around her. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• braille note-taker: $1,000
• First-year servicing plan: $85
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
