Yamini needs a braille note-taker - help us make it happen
Yamini needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,200.
🇮🇳 Durgapur, West Bengal, India731 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Durgapur 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 $1,200.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• braille note-taker: $1,100
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Thanks for being kind about this.
