Pooja lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Nagpur Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Pooja 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 $850 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $15 • braille note-taker: $790 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 Every share and every dollar helps.
