Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Sharon in Los Angeles

A braille note-taker would give Sharon independence - we're $7,100 away.

Sharon lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Los Angeles Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,100. Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Sharon could go to school independently. 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 $7,100 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $115 • braille note-taker: $6,750 • First-year servicing plan: $235 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Adrian
