Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Priya in Birmingham
A braille note-taker would give Priya independence - we're $7,200 away.

Priya lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Birmingham 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 $7,200.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Priya 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $7,200 goes:
• braille note-taker: $6,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $340
• Delivery and set-up: $115
• First-year servicing plan: $245
With deep gratitude,
Nasrin
Updates from Nasrin
Good news. Because of your gifts ($434 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($320). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward braille note-taker.

Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Priya?
Thank you. If you're in Birmingham I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
So sorry you're going through this, Nasrin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Nasrin. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
How is Priya doing now?
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Nasrin. Wishing Priya a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.
Good luck, Nasrin. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
