Help Me Heal: Support My Journey to a Diabetes-Free Life

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Koy, and I’m reaching out to share my story and ask for your support on a journey that means everything to me — a chance at a healthier, diabetes-free life.


  • For the past 15 years, I’ve been living with diabetes. Over time, it quietly took a toll on my body in ways I never could have imagined. Recently, a small burn on my foot turned into something far more serious because of diabetic neuropathy. What should have been a minor injury turned into a major medical battle.


Over the last few months, I’ve undergone multiple surgeries to save my foot and my health. I’ve spent over six weeks in the hospital — fighting through pain, setbacks, and long, difficult days. Through it all, I’ve stayed hopeful and determined to heal.



Despite everything, I believe my story doesn’t end here — it’s just beginning.
I have an incredible opportunity to receive stem cell therapy at LIV Hospital in Turkey — a cutting-edge treatment that offers the possibility of reversing the effects of diabetes and restoring my health.

This treatment gives me real hope: not just for recovery, but for truly living again — walking, traveling, working, and enjoying life without constant fear of complications.




To make this dream a reality, I need your help.
The total cost for the treatments, travel, accommodations, and recovery support is estimated at $25,000. Every donation — no matter the size — brings me one step closer to this life-changing healing journey.

Your contribution will directly help me:
• Access the specialized stem cell treatment,
• Cover travel and housing while overseas,
• Support post-treatment healing and care,
• And reclaim a life of health, freedom, and possibility.

Your support is not just helping me heal physically — you’re giving me back my future.

If you can give, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you can share my story, that means the world too.
Your kindness, generosity, and belief in my healing journey lift me up more than you know.

Your contribution, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to a healthier, diabetes-free life.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for your generosity.

With love and gratitude,
Koy
