Independence for Yiğit: specialist standing frame
Yiğit needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,350.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Istanbul Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $1,350 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $70
Every share and every dollar helps.
- Yiğit

So sorry you're going through this, Yiğit. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
so sorry you're going through this, Yiğit. Shared this with my family. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Yiğit. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up.
