UPDATE: WE DISABLED THE DONATIONS as we reached to the TARGET! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!

Dear Friends and Kindhearted Donors,

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Thanks to your generosity, compassion, and belief, the required funds have now been fully raised. What once felt uncertain has turned into hope — because of you.

Your support has not only helped reach a financial goal; it has given Teoman and his family strength and the courage to move forward. Teoman will now begin the hospital appointment process and, God willing, start his treatment very soon.

There are no words sufficient to express how grateful we are. This would never have been possible without your kindness and humanity.

You have truly made a difference in a life — and that is something extraordinary.

With sincere gratitude and respect,

Teoman’s Family

INITIAL FUNDRAISING MESSAGE:

Dear friends,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts and urgent hope. Our beloved baby Teoman, just 2 months old, has been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare and life-threatening genetic disease that weakens the muscles and makes even simple movements — breathing, swallowing, smiling — a struggle.

The only chance for Teoman to survive and live a healthy life is Zolgensma, a groundbreaking one-time gene therapy. But the treatment must be given in a couple of months, and the cost is staggering: $1.8 million.

This amount is impossible for our family to afford on our own. But together, with your kindness and support, we believe we can save Teoman’s life.

Teoman is living in Turkey and I am Teoman's uncle, Serkan, living in the UK. An official fundraising campaign was started in their hometown, and I just want to contribute to their effort through my dear network via GoFundMe platform.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to saving him.

The details and more information can be found within the social media campaign:
