Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Yusuf in Giza
Help Yusuf get a braille note-taker so He can attend work interviews.
🇪🇬 Giza, Giza, Egypt2,190 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Giza 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 $800.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 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 $800 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $35
• braille note-taker: $750
Thank you so much.

Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Gwagwalada so I could bring a meal.
Hope you get there. Thinking of Giza.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together
Stay strong, Yusuf. Get well soon
