Bang Khen
Krit lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Bang Khen General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Krit could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $650 goes: • braille note-taker: $450 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $40 • First-year servicing plan: $105 Thank you for reading my story. - Kittisak
