Hi, I'm Vicky and until a month ago I had no idea what fate had in store for me. At the end of October I picked up a fever. They said virus. They prescribed treatment, the fever went down, but I didn't feel well. I was limp, I was getting tired fast, I started to choke at the slightest thing. I decided to get blood tests. The results were nightmarish.

A flash hospital admission followed to clarify the diagnosis. It came a few days later - acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The shock was enormous. But there was no time to lose. I had to decide where and how I would be treated. I chose VM Medicalpark Hospital in Istanbul , Turkey, with Professor Hasan Attila Özkan and his team.

What lies ahead for me is chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. It will not be easy, it will not be easy at all, but I am determined to succeed. I know that I will come out the winner of this battle, I know that leukemia will only be a bad memory, but the amount of money needed for my treatment is prohibitive for me and my family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you who will lend a hand and donate to my cause. Thank you to everyone who will become a part of my fight by donating for me. Thank you and may the good you do be returned a hundredfold.
