Independence for Metin: adapted tricycle
An adapted tricycle would give Metin independence - we're $600 away.

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Istanbul Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $600 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $95
• Fitting and training sessions: $75
• adapted tricycle: $430
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Metin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 24 people at work. Greetings from Caloocan.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Yekaterinburg.
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Istanbul
Good luck, Metin. I hope things turn around soon.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Ciudad de México
