Steadying the Rollercoaster ????? Fighting cancer is already a tough battle, but when an earthquake struck on February 6th, hundreds of children saw their struggles multiply overnight. Kanserli ?ocuklara Umut Vakf? (KA?UV) stepped in, ensuring uninterrupted care and essential support for 323 children undergoing treatment in the disaster-affected region and their families.?? For these families, KA?UV’s support was transformative. It allowed parents to focus on their child’s treatment and emotional recovery, knowing their basic needs were met. Beyond the tangible relief, the gift cards symbolized compassion and solidarity, reminding families that they were not alone in their fight against cancer and disaster recovery. We are honored to stand alongside KA?UV in supporting children with cancer and their families, helping them navigate this dual challenge with dignity and resilience. Their journey is also ours—and yours—thanks to your generosity to the TPF Earthquake Fund. ?? Together, we are steadying their rollercoaster and helping them find strength in the face of adversity. ?? 100% of your donations go directly to the earthquake region in Türkiye.
