Logan's Story
Donation protected
This is a story about an extraordinary boy called Logan. Logan is 11 years old and was born with Lebers Amaurosis, a cleft palate and has recently been diagnosed with ASD.
Lebers Amaurosis is a condition that is congenital meaning he was born with it. It is a degenerative eye disease causing total blindness.
Logan was also born with a cleft lip meaning he has had multiple surgeries since birth to fix this, including a painful operation where bone was taken from his hip and implanted in his gums when he was ten years old.
Logan's mum fought for many years in order to get a diagnosis for her son regarding his autism spectrum disorder. Recently, it has finally been diagnosed meaning he is now receiving extra support.
Even though Logan faces battles every day, he is a strong, resilient, determined and talented young man who excels in school. He is extremely talented at music and has performed songs at primary school.
Now he he is learning Braille and is almost fluent already! He has access to up to date Braille machinery at his new school however in order for him to be able to read and write Braille at home he needs certain equipment. This can be used for anything, from greetings cards to homework assignments.
Its imperative that Logan has access to this equipment so he can continue with his education however there are no grants available to help buy this very expensive equipment.
What he requires, is a BrailleNote Apex (which he can write Braille easily) and a Braille Embosser (to print it). The BrailleNote is approximately £3000. The embosser is £1495. We are hoping to raise £5000 in order to buy this along with the special paper required by the embosser which can cost up to £100 per 100 sheets.
We would be grateful for any donation, large or small. Thank you for reading Logan's story and please share!
