I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Ogbomosho 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 $1,000.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• braille note-taker: $910
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $45
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Nneka
Update from Ogbomosho: the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $117 raised so far (12%). I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Ogbomosho: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Hang in there, Nneka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
hope things get better soon, Nneka. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
hang in there, Nneka. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Nneka. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 9 people at work. Greetings from Latina.
