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

Usman needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $900.

Usman lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Peshawar 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 $900. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Usman could speak with the people around him. 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 $900 goes: • braille note-taker: $790 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $55 Thanks for being kind about this.

    You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Jodhpur

          I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
