Independence for Özlem: adapted tricycle
Help Özlem get an adapted tricycle so She can attend work interviews.
🇹🇷 Türkiye648 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Üsküdar Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $890
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $55
Thanks for reading all this.

keep going, Özlem. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Özlem?
Thank you. If you're in Üsküdar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Thanks for sharing this, Özlem. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Sending love, Özlem. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 18 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
