6 rounds of treatment are planned at the Kadıköy Oncology Institute; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Hülya was diagnosed with colon cancer in March. The oncology team at the Kadıköy Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Hülya is 36, worked as a bakery worker until March, 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 the Kadıköy 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Transport to the Kadıköy Oncology Institute: $260
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $155
• Household costs while unable to work: $185
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out. Get well soon. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
Take care, Hüseyin. Hope this works out for you!
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Istanbul. I'll ask around and let you know!
