Mónica needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Help Mónica get a braille note-taker so She can go to school independently.
🇦🇷 Argentina320 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Buenos Aires 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 $650.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $650 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• Fitting and training sessions: $100
• braille note-taker: $525
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going, Mónica. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Sylhet.
Best of luck, Mónica. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Rooting for you, Mónica. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
