Standing with Şule: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Gaziantep Regional Medical Center; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇹🇷 Gaziantep, Gaziantep, Türkiye1,588 views
Şule was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Gaziantep Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Şule is 55, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Gaziantep 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $280
• Transport to Gaziantep Regional Medical Center: $155
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,765

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Şule.
It's all in the list in the story. household costs while unable to work is the big one at $280, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Good luck, Hakan. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Gaziantep.
Good luck, Hakan. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Şule?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about household costs while unable to work, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Thinking of you and your family, Hakan. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Juiz de Fora but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon, Hakan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
