I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Milan General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,850. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $3,850 goes: • braille note-taker: $3,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $220 • First-year servicing plan: $130 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
