Help Ahmet Save His Arm and Support His Family whith 3 kids

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Jessica and I am fundraising for my friend Ahmet Özcan, who lives in Kayseri, Turkey.

Unfortunately, GoFundMe does not operate in Turkey, so after speaking with one of Ahmet’s close friends, I offered to create this campaign from Spain, where I live. Once the funds are raised, I will personally transfer them to Ahmet’s bank account, to help cover his urgent medical and family needs.

Ahmet is a loving father of three small children, including twin boys and a 7-month-old baby girl. He is a kind, responsible, hard-working man who has always taken care of his family. Now, after a devastating accident, he needs us more than ever.

This past Tuesday, Ahmet’s car overturned in a serious traffic accident in Kayseri. He suffered a severe head injury, multiple contusions, deep wounds requiring stitches, and a crushed right arm. Doctors performed emergency surgery on his arm, costing €5,000, which his father borrowed through a loan, despite living in poverty.

Soon after, Ahmet's arm showed signs of possible gangrene, and he had to be urgently transferred to a hospital in Ankara for a second, life-saving operation.

Thanks to the incredible effort of a close friend, who took on new debt by borrowing the money, Ahmet was finally operated on Friday and the surgery was successful. He is now recovering in Ankara.

However, the situation is still extremely difficult:

The medical debt has now grown to over €20,000

His father and friend are burdened with loans

The family has no income, as Ahmet was the sole provider

His children still need food, care, and basic stability


Even though the surgery was a success, the family now faces deep financial hardship and urgently needs our help to repay the debts and support their children’s survival.

Please donate and share. Every euro counts. You can help this father rebuild his future.
