My Journey to Independence with WeWALK – As Told by Yusuf Çelik, a WeWALK Smart Cane 2 User from the Earthquake Region

I am Yusuf Çelik. I live in Malatya, Turkiye but I’m originally from Hınıs, Erzurum. I study Turkish Music at the State Conservatory and also study Theology at Anadolu University. My life is full of work, music, and movement. I play in wedding halls in the evenings, I’m interested in sports, and I’m preparing for the EKPSS exam. In short, I am constantly involved in life.

My journey to independent movement began in my middle and high school years with a white cane. Later, I was introduced to the WeWALK Smart Cane 1, and it really gave me a confidence boost. But when I switched to the WeWALK Smart Cane 2, I said, “Okay, this is my cane now.”
