Burak lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Kadıköy Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Burak could speak with the people around him. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $700 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $590 • Fitting and training sessions: $95 • Delivery and set-up: $15 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Erdem

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Burak?

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about communication tablet with eye tracking, advice is welcome too.

    thinking of you, Erdem. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 30 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything
