Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Oanh in Columbus
A braille note-taker would give Oanh independence - we're $7,550 away.
🇺🇸 Columbus, Georgia, United States8,100 views
Oanh lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Columbus Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,550.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Oanh could join the school sports day. 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 $7,550 goes:
• braille note-taker: $6,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $360
• Delivery and set-up: $130
• First-year servicing plan: $310
With deep gratitude,
Tài
