Support Sinem and Hazal's Healing Journey

Our dear friend and colleague, Sinem Konca, who was expecting her first baby in July, had an emergency C-section on June 9th. Hazal, her beautiful baby girl, came into this world fighting for her life against many odds and complications. Hazal was born with a rare heart condition (D-TGA) that required open heart surgery, fluid in her lungs, and multiple blood clots. As Hazal and her new parents have been admitted to the NICU at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital since June 9th and fighting every day to keep Hazal safe and healing, they have been unable to work. Sinem and her family could use our support to help them with medical and daily living expenses as they spend day and night at the hospital. Hazal has undergone a successful surgery and many procedures and daily treatments. She is making progress and most recently had her little chest closed and her intubation tubes removed. See the pictures below of this incredible little girl and her family.

Sinem has a huge and generous heart and has given to and supported so many of our student families in her work as a health aide and campus safety specialist. Please consider supporting Sinem and Hazal in their time of need with a monetary donation.
