Nur needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Nur needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,150.
🇹🇷 Türkiye802 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Bornova General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $1,150 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $950
• Fitting and training sessions: $75
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• First-year servicing plan: $70
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
