Independence for Şule: cochlear implant processor upgrade
Help Şule get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇹🇷 Ankara, Ankara, Türkiye2,490 views
Şule lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Ankara Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,500.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Şule could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $2,500 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $75
• First-year servicing plan: $60
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,365
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from San Jose.
So sorry you're going through this, Meltem. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Dnipro
