Hello, kind people. My name is Lilia, I am 43, and I have always been a hard worker who carried my own burdens. I never imagined I would ever have to ask for help, but today I am at a point where I can no longer fight this battle alone.
At the beginning of 2025, I was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of cancer. Even the doctors in Turkey needed extensive time to fully understand my condition. I have spent months navigating through difficult investigations, endless waiting, and uncertainty.
The disease has now advanced, spreading to my lungs with a recurrence near the pancreas. Doctors have made it clear that I urgently need a complex surgery, followed by a personalized treatment plan specifically adapted to this rare type of cancer.
I will be honest with you—I am terrified. Not for myself, but for my two children. My only wish is to be there for them as they grow, to see them graduate, find their way, and start their own lives. These are simple dreams, but to me, they mean the world.
I have fought to stay strong until now, but I feel my strength failing me. Still, I refuse to give up. As long as there is a fighting chance, I will take it. I am reaching out to you with hope in my heart.
Any support you can offer will give me precious time—time to be with my children, time for treatment, and time for hope.
I am not asking you to take away my pain; I am asking for the chance to keep fighting. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for every prayer, every kind thought, and every act of support.
With deep gratitude, a mother who hopes to live!
