Çankaya
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Çankaya Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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 $1,150 goes: • adapted tricycle: $1,050 • First-year servicing plan: $90 • Fitting and training sessions: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Gül

    • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gül

      • Gül Seda CanOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is adapted tricycle, $1,050. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
