Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Songül afford treatment in Berlin

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

Berlin
Songül was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Berlin Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Songül is 35, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Berlin Cancer Centre 3 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,750 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $470 • Scans and lab work: $640 • Household costs while unable to work: $640 Glad we found this place. - Mert

    Stay strong, Mert. Wishing Songül a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Coventry donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.

    • Cecilia N. AquinoQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Songül

      • Mert Deniz KaracaOwnerAnswerAddress verifiedPhoto verified

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team comes first ($470) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.

    • Chanchai Somchai Ampai

      look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless!

      • Avery Ruiz

        This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 6 people at work. Thinking of Berlin.

        • Gaurav R. Thakur

          good luck, Mert. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care.
