🇹🇷 Türkiye1,909 views
Kemal lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Istanbul Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Kemal 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $700 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $85
• pair of hearing aids: $570
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

Thank you all. We're at 42% now ($293). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Saint-Denis but we're thinking of you.
You're not alone, Hülya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Nagoya.
Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Yokohama.
Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Novosibirsk so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Cluj-Napoca.
