Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Nisha in Nagpur
A braille note-taker would give Nisha independence - we're $950 away.
🇮🇳 India1,584 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Nagpur 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 $950.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $950 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $40
• braille note-taker: $900
• Fitting and training sessions: $10
I hope life is good to you.

Thank you all. We're at 57% now ($544). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Hope it all works out, Nisha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Giza.
Take care, Nisha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Tangier so I could bring a meal. Take care.
You're not alone, Nisha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Nairobi donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Nairobi.
