Suresh needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen

Suresh needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,100.

Suresh lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the New Delhi Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,100. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Suresh could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,100 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $35 • braille note-taker: $1,055 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Siva
