Standing with Leyla: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Antalya University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇹🇷 Antalya, Antalya, Türkiye2,986 views
Leyla was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in February. The oncology team at Antalya University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Leyla is 32, worked as a bus conductor until February, 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 Antalya University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,600
• Household costs while unable to work: $290
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
