Fighting kidney cancer: help Eren afford treatment in Istanbul

Eren is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Eren was diagnosed with kidney cancer in May. The oncology team at Istanbul University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Eren is 45, worked as a nurse 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 Istanbul University Hospital 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 $950 goes: • Scans and lab work: $260 • Transport to Istanbul University Hospital: $220 • Household costs while unable to work: $470 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Esra

Updates from Esra

  1. Small update. $180 so far, the plan for transport to Istanbul University Hospital is now scheduled.

  2. Small update. $70 so far, the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled.
