Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Jayson in Makati

A braille note-taker would give Jayson independence - we're $1,750 away.

Makati
Jayson lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Makati 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 $1,750. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Jayson 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 $1,750 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • braille note-taker: $1,650 • First-year servicing plan: $50 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Noel

Updates from Noel

  1. 13% there. I made the first payment toward braille note-taker. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($191 in total) the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $58 so far, I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.
