Help Ahmet with his Treatment

Let’s listen to Ahmet’s story from his mom, Zekiye Ataç, in her own words translated to English...

Ahmet was so young when he started getting chemotherapy. It started after we’ve learned that he has bone cancer. But unfortunately, all these rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy didn’t work, and he had to go under surgery. Doctors had to remove some of his bones.

The life-saving medical treatment for Ahmet is so expensive, and we need so much help to raise funds. Only this way we will be able to pay for his €50.000 surgery here in Germany... Ahmet needs your help!
