Bornova
Leyla was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June. The oncology team at Bornova Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Leyla is 34, worked as a construction supervisor until June, 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 Bornova Regional Medical Center 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 $2,050 goes: โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,800 โ€ข Transport to Bornova Regional Medical Center: $110 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Erdem
