Tareq needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
A braille note-taker would give Tareq independence - we're $400 away.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh727 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Dhaka Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $400 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• braille note-taker: $360
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Mumbai.
This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Dhaka
take care, Tareq. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best.
Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Hồ Chí Minh City this morning. Thinking of Dhaka
Stay strong. Hope you get there. Greetings from Coimbatore
