A 7-year-old girl who couldn't see was given an unforgettable Christmas gift with the attention and help of many.



On the 29th of last month local time, CNN and other foreign media introduced the process of preparing a special gift for her nephew, Emri, by Katein Suter, who lives in Kansas City, Missouri.



Born visually impaired, Emry learned to read Braille at the age of only four.

The whole family was surprised and embarrassed whenever they saw Emry having fun flipping the bookshelf alone without her parents' help.

However, as Emri turned 7 years old, her family's worries grew when she wanted to read increasingly difficult and long books, because it was not easy to get a'braille book'.




The same was true of Emry's favorite'Harry Potter' series.

The'Harry Potter' braille book sold on the market costs a whopping $1,000 (about 1.1 million won) to purchase the entire series from a minimum of 80 dollars (about 90,000 won) to a maximum of 300 dollars (about 330,000 won) per book. It was.

My parents read the book'Harry Potter' to Emri every day, but I felt sorry and sorry for seeing Emri talking about'Harry Potter' all day in case she would forget the plot.




Aunt Suter also complained on her social media that she couldn't buy the book her nephew wanted to read, and insisted, "Families with children with visual impairments should not hesitate about the price of books."

“I visited several local libraries, but I couldn't find the'Harry Potter' series in Braille anywhere,” he added.



Then, some netizens suggested that they do online fundraising, saying, "I want to add a little to the cost of the book."

Sooter started raising money with a goal of $2,000 (about 2.2 million won) to give Emri the entire copy of'Harry Potter' and donate the same book to a local library.

However, people's donations continued uninterruptedly, and the target amount was collected in just an hour, and in less than a day, a donation amount exceeding 4,000 dollars (about 4.3 million won) was accumulated.




Thanks to that, on the 26th of last month, the day after Christmas, Suter was able to present the book'Harry Potter' in Braille to Emry.

As she pulled out a large book from the gift box, Emry moved her fingers in Braille, read aloud the title of the book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," and looked startled.

The family delivered one more good news, saying, "All seven books of'Harry Potter' can be read in Braille," and Emri cheered and cheered those who were delighted.




Mr. Suter expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thanks to you, I made a precious gift to Emri. Emri doesn't know how to put a book out of his hand for a while. We can donate the entire volume of'Harry Potter' to various local libraries.

Netizens congratulated, "I feel like I'm going to cry when I see Emri happy," and "I'm happy to give a chance to read books to children who are smart and self-reliant like Em Lee."
