DMD medical fundraising in Turkey

Overview

In Turkey, fundraising efforts for children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) have reached significant stages. Toprak Kaan Selvi, a 10-year-old from Istanbul, successfully completed a 22-month campaign authorized by the Istanbul Governor’s Office, with his family preparing to travel to Dubai for treatment.

Simultaneously, a campaign in Erzurum for Ahmet Sami is in its final stages. The family seeks an additional $200,000 to reach a $2.9 million goal for gene therapy. Local political figures have contributed to the cause, calling on the business community to help meet the funding requirement within a 25-day window.
