Istanbul
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Istanbul General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. 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 $800 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $60 • Fitting and training sessions: $65 • pair of hearing aids: $675 I hope life is good to you. - Neslihan

  • keep going, Neslihan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.

    • wishing Neslihan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

      • Good luck, Neslihan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

        • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Neslihan?

            Thank you. If you're in Istanbul I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.

          Rooting for you, Neslihan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope August is when things finally get easier. All the best.

          • Stay strong. Shared this with my family. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
