Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Hadley in Peoria
Hadley needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,050.
🇺🇸 Peoria, Illinois, United States4,001 views
Hadley lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Peoria Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,050.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Hadley 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 $4,050 goes:
• braille note-taker: $3,350
• Fitting and training sessions: $270
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• First-year servicing plan: $340
Every share and every dollar helps.
