A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Songül: help Songül move freely
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Songül independence - we are $200 away.

Songül lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Kadıköy General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $200.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Songül could attend work interviews. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
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 $200 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $110
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $70
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($87 in total) the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hang in there, Şule. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hang in there, Şule. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Wishing you the best, Şule. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Dar es Salaam.
