Savannah
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Savannah 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 $500. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $500 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $85 • Fitting and training sessions: $200 • First-year servicing plan: $215 I hope life is good to you. - Paula
