Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Burak afford treatment in Üsküdar

Burak is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Üsküdar
Burak was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May. The oncology team at the Üsküdar Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Burak is 48, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Üsküdar Oncology Institute 4 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $700 goes: • Transport to the Üsküdar Oncology Institute: $250 • Household costs while unable to work: $280 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $170 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
