Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Günter in Dortmund

A braille note-taker would give Günter independence - we're $7,650 away.

Dortmund
Günter lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Dortmund Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,650. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Günter could speak with the people around him. 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 $7,650 goes: • braille note-taker: $7,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $360 • Delivery and set-up: $65 • First-year servicing plan: $225 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Anna

    Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
