Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Jenny in Calamba
A braille note-taker would give Jenny independence - we're $900 away.
🇵🇭 Calamba, Laguna, Philippines2,838 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Calamba Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $900 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• braille note-taker: $830
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jenny.
It's all in the list in the story. delivery and set-up is the big one at $10, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending love, Jenny. Wishing Jenny a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Take care. Wishing Jenny a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Good luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Ballarat so I could bring a meal.
Sending love, Jenny. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
You're not alone, Jenny. Get well soon. Please keep us posted. All the best.
