FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN WITH LEUKEMIA TURKEY

Every year new childhood leukemia cases are diagnosed in Turkey.

WE DREAM OF A WORLD WITHOUT LEUKEMIA The Foundation for Children with Leukemia was established in Prior to this, children with leukemia were treated at the Social Security Government Hospital(SSK).After a request for a television set in the children's ward was unable to be granted, the necessity for an organization to cater for the special needs of these children was recognized. This led to the formation of LOSEV. Initially, even the minor needs of the children were met with difficulty, but the organization has grown into an extensive family, increasing in strength day by day. It has developed and completed many projects, and continues to achieve its goals, making every effort to provide educational, financial, psychological and health support to our children and their families. Today, we are a great family with hundreds of employee, thousands of children with leukemia and their families and volunteers.
