A weekly ride to Istanbul General Hospital for Melek
A rota of drivers to Istanbul General Hospital would keep Melek on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Melek has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to Istanbul General Hospital alone. After a foot amputation, Melek can no longer drive. Taxis cost more than the family can pay three times a week.
We're building a rota of volunteer drivers. Each session is 4 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 29 km each way.
Melek is cheerful company. You'd need a car in good condition and a clean driving record. We'll cover your fuel costs, and the family will send you home with homemade food.
Please say which day works for you in the comments.

take care, Kerem. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Zaporizhzhia
Hope it all works out, Kerem. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 24 people at work. Love from Buenos Aires.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Istanbul.
Praying for you, Kerem. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
