The children staying at the Pediatric Hematology Clinic of Van Yüzüncü Yıl University Dursun Odabaşı Medical Center and their accompanying mothers had a request through the hospital administration. Let’s read this request in the following lines:
“Requested Support Delivery Date: April 2, 2025
Requested Support: Washing and drying machines with a 10kg capacity
Usage and Planned Effects of the Support:
The support will be used to provide washing and drying facilities for the personal clothes of children and their accompanying mothers. In addition to ensuring that children undergoing treatment at our hospital maintain hygienic conditions, we aim to alleviate the difficulties faced by mothers who stay with their children during long-term treatment processes. Mothers who accompany their children in the fight against cancer face significant challenges in washing their clothes and continuously keeping them clean due to limited laundry facilities.
Furthermore, our hospital is located in a region where many patients come from rural areas, making it quite difficult for mothers to keep their clothes clean during this period. For this reason, we aim to eliminate the difficulties faced by both children receiving treatment under hygienic conditions and their mothers during this challenging process. Since we are unable to include the personal needs of patients under any hospital expense category, we accept support through donations.”
