Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Renata in Tuxtla Gutiérrez
A braille note-taker would give Renata independence - we're $2,150 away.

Renata lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Tuxtla Gutiérrez General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,150.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Renata 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 $2,150 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• First-year servicing plan: $75
• braille note-taker: $2,025
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Chiapas. I'll ask around and let you know!
This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Makati but we're thinking of you. Take care.
