Ali lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Istanbul General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Ali 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 $1,200 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $1,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $95
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $90
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you, Fatma. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings
Good luck, Fatma. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Istanbul
Sending strength, Fatma. Get well soon. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Hang in there, Fatma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 18 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Keep going, Fatma. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care.
