Tobias lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Berlin 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 $4,850. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Tobias could go to school independently. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $4,850 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $340 • braille note-taker: $4,450 • Delivery and set-up: $60 Glad we found this place. - Hannah

    sending good thoughts, Hannah. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Kochi.
