Eren needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
Eren needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,500.
🇹🇷 Türkiye2,460 views
Eren lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Bornova General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,500.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Eren could go to school independently. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $65
• prosthetic leg: $1,350
• Fitting and training sessions: $85
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

hang in there, Serkan. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Hope things get better soon, Serkan. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Bornova.
how is Eren doing now?
Stay strong, Serkan. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Zaporizhzhia.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Eren?
rooting for you, Serkan. Looking forward to the next update. All the best
