Kemal's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Supporting Kemal through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Ankara University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇹🇷 Türkiye3,416 views
Kemal was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at Ankara University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Kemal is 42, worked as a bakery worker until February, 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 Ankara 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 $2,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,550
• Scans and lab work: $290
• Transport to Ankara University Hospital: $165
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220
• Household costs while unable to work: $225
Thank you for reading my story.

hope it all works out. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
Wishing Kemal a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kemal.
Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $1,550. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
thanks for sharing this, Cem. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
Hang in there, Cem. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 26 people at work
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Dhaka donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Ankara
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending strength, Cem. Looking forward to the next update
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Paris.
Stay strong. Get well soon. I hope April is when things finally get easier.
