My name is Peyman, and I am the father of Ahoura, my 16-year-old son who has been bravely fighting a severe form of leukemia since the beginning of 2025.
Ahoura has already gone through an intensive six-phase chemotherapy treatment, but unfortunately, it was not effective. After thorough medical evaluations, doctors have confirmed that his only chance of survival is a Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT).
In this procedure, the bone marrow from both my wife and me—each of us sharing a 50% genetic match with Ahoura—will be transplanted to him. Due to the extreme sensitivity and complexity of this treatment, it must be performed in a fully equipped private hospital with the ability to provide long-term protective isolation.
We moved from Iran to Türkiye four years ago, and I currently live here with a work residency permit. I have three sons: Ahoura, 10-year-old Houman, and Nariman who is a university student. As parents, we are doing everything we possibly can to save our child.
Unfortunately, returning to Iran for treatment is not an option. Genuine leukemia medications are extremely rare and unaffordable there, and due to the current political and security situation, the risk of unrest or war is very real.
In Türkiye, despite the quality of medical care, Ahoura is considered a patient with a pre-existing critical illness, and since we are not Turkish citizens, no private or supplementary insurance covers the costs of his treatment. This has left us facing overwhelming medical expenses that we cannot manage on our own.
We are reaching out with humility and hope. Any amount of support—whether through donation or by sharing this campaign—can truly make a difference and bring Ahoura one step closer to life.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.
