Support Mehmet's Brave Fight Against Cancer

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

My name is Kimberly and I am reaching out to you with a humble and fervent plea for support as my loving significant other Mehmet bravely fights against cancer. In March of 2021, we received devastating news that Mehmet had cancer. Mehmet lost the use of his legs and the ability to feed and care for himself, he had no balance. Mehmet was officially diagnosed with Diffused Large B cell Lymphoma with CNS involvement. Mehmet has a rare and aggressive form of cancer that crossed the blood-brain barrier and entered his CNS. This diagnosis has brought immense challenges and changes to our lives, but with your help, we believe we can overcome this battle. Mehmet has undergone intense physical and occupational therapy to regain the use of his arms and legs only to have the cancer take it away again and again.

Mehmet has always been there for others. His love for woodworking and being on the sea are the two hobbies he misses the most. His love for his hometown Istanbul and the time he spent in Antalya are treasured. His one desire is to return home to see family and friends. He has faced this diagnosis with incredible strength and courage. Mehmet’s cancer requires intensive treatment. He has endured multiple cycles of chemotherapy, intrathecal chemotherapy, radiation, and required a stem cell transplant. This required approximately seven weeks of inpatient/outpatient treatment two and a half hours from home. The journey ahead is long and fraught with physical, emotional, and financial challenges.

The cost of cancer treatment is astronomical. Even with insurance, the travel to specialized treatment centers and everyday living expenses are overwhelming. This is where we humbly ask for your support.

Your generous donations will help cover:

• Daily living expenses during his struggle to survive.

• Home and pet care while we are away.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in Mehmet’s fight against this disease. Your support means the world to us. Whether you can contribute financially or share our story with others, every bit of help brings us closer to giving Mehmet the chance to beat Diffused Large B cell Lymphoma with CNS involvement and return to the loving, active life he cherishes.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With love and gratitude,

Kimberly
