Standing with Gül: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs

Gül is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Gül was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in April. The oncology team at Berlin University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Gül is 39, worked as a construction supervisor until April, 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 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $10,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $590 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,750 • Scans and lab work: $1,460 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Take care. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Fresno donated after I showed her your page

    • is there anything that isn't money that would help Gül?

      • Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Sydney so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

        • so sorry you're going through this, Deniz. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care
