Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Mariana in Alcalá de Henares
Help Mariana get a braille note-taker so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
Anywhere in the world1,526 views
Mariana lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Alcalá de Henares General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $500.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Mariana could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $500 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $130
• First-year servicing plan: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $150
With deep gratitude,
Fernando
