Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Manoj in Mangaluru
Manoj needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $900.

Manoj lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Mangaluru 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 $900.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Manoj could go to school independently. 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 $900 goes:
• braille note-taker: $820
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
With deep gratitude,
Alok

Good news. Because of your gifts ($566 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
