Standing with Burcu: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Berlin Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇩🇪 Germany842 views
Burcu was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at Berlin Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Burcu is 43, worked as a shop owner until June, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Berlin Cancer Centre 5 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $6,100 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,550
• Transport to Berlin Cancer Centre: $430
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $430
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,690
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. After 22 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Berlin.
Stay strong, Erdem. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Ciudad de México
Sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together
