Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Rahul in Bhopal
Rahul needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $800.
🇮🇳 India1,171 views
Rahul lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Bhopal Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Rahul could speak with the people around him. 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 $800 goes:
• braille note-taker: $680
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope things get better soon, Vijay. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Get well soon. Thinking of Bhopal.
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
