Personal Assistance

Personal assistance made it possible for me to take my life back.

A story of Choice and Control

"Breaking Barriers to Independent Living in Turkiye". I am a woman in my late 20s with light skin and straight, shoulder-length black hair. I am wearing a textured, light brown button-up sweater with a relaxed fit. My expression is warm and approachable, with a slight smile. I am not wearing any visible accessories, such as glasses or jewelry, and I am not using any mobility aids. The background is plain and neutral, keeping the focus on me.
