Standing with Onur: multiple myeloma treatment costs

Supporting Onur through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Stuttgart University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.

Stuttgart
Onur was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at Stuttgart University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Onur is 27, worked as a bank teller until June, 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 Stuttgart University Hospital 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $7,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $700 Thanks for being kind about this.

      Rooting for you, Alp. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Laredo but we're thinking of you.
