Likoni
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Likoni Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,600. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. 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 $1,600 goes: • braille note-taker: $1,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $30 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $45 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
