On February 15, my little girl started feeling very sick. She fell off her feet. Fever every evening and every day, lack of appetite for any kind of food and disinterested in any kind of activity. For whole nights I carried her in my arms and I still carry her. I flew to Istanbul as I have not heard back from our local hospital in Exeter through the NHS, they insisted she has an ear infection and no further tests are needed!
I could not believe that so I went to Turkey to seek further medical advice. When we arrived in Istanbul, my daughter had a medical checkup and blood tests, etc.
After a few days, the tests came back, the doctors turned my world upside down. My sweet little girl who is only 2 years old has "Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia"
I couldn't believe this was happening and I don't think any parent could ever accept that. Amelia, my little girl, is hospitalized in Medipol hospital in Istanbul and the expenses are skyrocketing. For the first month alone we had to pay $53,000. I received help to pay for the treatment for 5 months. The intensive treatment is 7 months. In total, about 3 years of treatment, analysis, medical checks.
We need help from good people with faith in God! There are so many good hearts and souls on this earth, please help my child overcome this terrible and difficult disease.
