Help Orhan through 6 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Istanbul University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Orhan was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in September. The oncology team at Istanbul University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Orhan is 27, worked as a hairdresser until September, 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 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
• Transport to Istanbul University Hospital: $125
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,570
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope you get there. Greetings from Riyadh!
Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Istanbul.
