Help Selim through 4 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer
Selim is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇩🇪 Germany2,200 views
Selim was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Munich University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Selim is 44, worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 Munich University Hospital 2 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 $7,250 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,150
• Scans and lab work: $1,550
• Transport to Munich University Hospital: $430
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,120
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending strength, Pınar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Bang Khen
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Yogyakarta
sending love, Pınar. Hope this works out for you.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Seoul donated after I showed her your page!
is there anything that isn't money that would help Selim?
Thank you. If you're in Munich I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
sending strength, Pınar. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Sending strength, Pınar. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Wishing you the best, Pınar. Wishing Selim a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Bang Khen this morning. Greetings from Bang Khen.
So sorry you're going through this, Pınar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings!
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Munich.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 27 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
You're not alone, Pınar. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Take care
shared it with a few friends. Love from London
You're not alone, Pınar. This could happen to any of us.
Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
