Bursa
Merve was diagnosed with cervical cancer in January. The oncology team at Bursa Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Merve is 55, worked as a tailor until January, 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 Bursa Regional Medical Center 5 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $900 goes: • Scans and lab work: $310 • Household costs while unable to work: $340 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Transport to Bursa Regional Medical Center: $145 Thank you so much. - Can

    Take care, Can. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Bursa!

          Thank you. If you're in Bursa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
