We are starting a Go Fund Me campaign to fund a SMART Brailler for Tommy. Tommy has been blind since birth and will be a Braille reader. He is currently a second year preschool student at the Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children in Pittsburgh, PA.
A SMART Brailler for Tommy! @ Go Fund Me

| Tom loved hearing the SMART Brailler talk as he typed. |
The SMART Brailler speaks as you type! Auditory (sound) feedback is an incredibly effective way to reinforce learning - especially for a blind child. Tom really enjoyed trying out the SMART Brailler and I think owning one would make it easier for him to learn Braille.

| Just typing away... |
Every donation, no matter how small, will help Tommy get closer to a valuable tool for learning Braille.
We need to raise $1,695.00. I know. It's a big number but I think we can do it. We have already raised $200 in a couple of hours.
Can you help us? Visit our Go Fund Me site - A SMART Brailler for Tommy!

| Can we raise enough to get him a SMART Brailler? |
Thank you!!
I was going to leave you a donation and I saw that you have been fully funded. Everyone out there loves your sweet Thomas . I wish there was somehow I could raise the money for my grandson. Jonah Whois six and born blind. I don't know how to go about it.
ReplyDeleteholy shit! I didn't even have time to donate!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Tommy! And for those who didn't get the opportunity to donate to Tommy's fund, but still have a heart open to donate, please consider 2 other children from the contest (Clay & Adelyn) who are not yet fully funded. It's a nice way to honor Tommy by paying it forward!

Yes. I shared both direct links to Clay & Adelyn's funding sites on Tommy's Facebook. I am swamped at work and working into the night on a big project so I haven't had a moment to blog. I do want to help everyone get funded though!
