Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Ebru afford treatment in Çankaya
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Çankaya Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇹🇷 Çankaya, Ankara, Türkiye474 views
In May I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Çankaya Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 30, I worked as a taxi driver until May, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Çankaya Regional Medical Center 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,950
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $145
• Household costs while unable to work: $355
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Kota this morning. Thinking of Çankaya.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Kathmandu this morning. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Ebru. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
You're not alone, Ebru. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Praying for you, Ebru. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Belo Horizonte.
