Vino lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Semarang General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Vino 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 $850 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $15 • braille note-taker: $810 • Delivery and set-up: $25 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 28% now ($240). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up.
