Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Eren in Istanbul

Istanbul
Eren lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Istanbul Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $150. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Eren could attend work interviews. 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 $150 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $45 • Fitting and training sessions: $70 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

      Keep going, Burcu. Your post was clear and honest. After 11 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
