Teguh needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Teguh needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $650.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Bogor 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 $650.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $650 goes:
• braille note-taker: $570
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $25
Every share and every dollar helps.
