Standing with Barış: colon cancer treatment costs

Barış is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Amsterdam
Barış was diagnosed with colon cancer in February. The oncology team at Amsterdam Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Barış is 34, worked as a bank teller 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 Amsterdam Regional Medical Center 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 $6,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,100 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Transport to Amsterdam Regional Medical Center: $510 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $580 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,060 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
