Berkay G.

22 Years Old

BAKIMA MUHTACLARA DESTEK

While Berkay was a healthy boy until he was 8 years old, his life took an irreversible path with his health suddenly deteriorating. Diagnosed and being treated for atypical autism since the age of 8, Berkay’s situation was worsened recently with the onset of Schizophrenia. As result of his inpatient treatment at Bakırköy Mental Facility in recent months, his official disability status is at 70%.

As Berkay is a strong boy, his father always accompanies him to prevent him from harming himself or people around him during random rage attacks. As Berkay grew older and strength of his mother became insufficient to handle him caused his father to quit his job with social security. As of present, income Berkay's mother brings by working in daily cleaning jobs is not enough to provide for the family and to cover the daily expenses of Berkay.

Paying 550 TL rent monthly, family make use of general health insurance by paying 40 TL monthly, as his mother's insurance does not cover Berkay due to his age. Only income the family has is what Berkay's mother earns in daily cleaning jobs and the payment of 770 TL the state pays for disabled care.
