Standing with Tolga: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at İzmir Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Tolga was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in September. The oncology team at İzmir Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Tolga is 49, worked as a bakery worker until September, 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 İzmir Regional Medical Center 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 $1,800 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $450
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $940
• Scans and lab work: $295
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
This could happen to any of us. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Angeles!
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 10 people at work. Blessings
Keep going, Ali. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of İzmir
Good luck, Ali. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Take care. Wishing Tolga a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Tokyo so I could bring a meal
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of İzmir
