Subject: (Audio-tips) aquiring a braille note taker
> Hello, and greetings to everyone. My Name is LaMar. I'm a totally blind
> single father of three small children.
> I am writing you to ask your help in somehow aquiring a braille note
taker.
> Something like a braille lite 18 or 2000. Here, in California, the
> department of rehabilitation will not help with something like that,
unless
> you are going to school or to work. My Job right now, is home making for
my
> children, and it's what I really enjoy doing. However, homemaking is not
a
> job one takes with an expectation of earning a million dollars! (smile)
> I was wondering if you, or anyone you may be associated with might be able
> to either help me get a braille lite or some braille note taker, or maybe
> put me in contact with someone who you believe can help me.
> It doesn't need to be brand-new, unless a brand-new one can be found!
(grin)
> If an older one can be found, I'll take it, and save money to have it
fixed.
> What's important to me, is that it's a small note taker with an eighteen
or
> twenty cell display. I am a braille reader to the fullest, which is the
> reason why having the display on the note taker is so important to me.
> I would be using it for everything from household management, such as:
> making shopping lists, managing finances, cooking with the timer and stop
> watch features, keeping track of phone numbers and important appointments,
> etc, to fulfilling my church responsibilities such as: studying the
braille
> files version of the bible, taking the proper notes as secretary of the
> pastorial aid auxillery, take notes in bible study, and follow along in
the
> bible during sunday morning service, to pleasure reading such as:
> downloading volumes of braille books from web braille.
> As you can see, I will put a braille note taker to good use.
> If you feel you are able to help or you have questions you wish to ask me,
> please contact me by email. My email address is at the bottom of this
> letter.
> If you know others who may be of assistance, please forward this letter to
> them.
>
> I can not stress just how important this truly is to me!
> Your help is greatly appreciated,
