Kadıköy
Murat was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at the Kadıköy Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Murat is 36, worked as a taxi driver 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 the Kadıköy Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,400 • Scans and lab work: $380 • Transport to the Kadıköy Oncology Institute: $100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $170 • Household costs while unable to work: $350 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Hatice
