Gujranwala

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Gujranwala 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 $950. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $950 goes: • braille note-taker: $860 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $55 Thanks for being kind about this. - Saad

Updates from Saad

Quick update: $423 raised so far (45%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 30% funded and the plan for braille note-taker is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($150). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward braille note-taker.
