Raju lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Kathmandu Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Raju could speak with the people around him. 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 $1,150 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $20 • Fitting and training sessions: $15 • braille note-taker: $1,115 Thanks for reading all this. - Samjhana

Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Houston.
