I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Ankara General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,350.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• prosthetic leg: $2,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
Thanks for reading all this.

hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 36 people at work.
Take care, Ebru. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Surakarta.
Rooting for you, Ebru. Get well soon.
Wishing you peace, Ebru. It takes guts to ask. Well done
