Independence for Volkan: prosthetic leg
Help Volkan get a prosthetic leg so He can attend work interviews.
🇹🇷 Türkiye1,404 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Ankara Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $150.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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 $150 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• First-year servicing plan: $65

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Volkan!
Delivery and set-up is $40 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Get well soon. Love from Alexandria.
Sending strength, Volkan. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Bang Khen but we're thinking of you. Love from Bang Khen.

Wishing you the best, Volkan. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hope things get better soon, Volkan. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Nairobi so I could bring a meal.
