Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Mussa in Nakuru
Mussa needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $700.

Mussa lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Nakuru Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Mussa 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $700 goes:
• braille note-taker: $590
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $65
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Take care
