Governorate-Approved Aid Campaign for 5-Year-Old DMD Patient Göktuğ
Ece Tülübaş, living in Milas, is seeking support so that her young son Göktuğ, who suffers from the muscle-wasting disease DMD, can access gene therapy in Dubai.
Mother Ece Tülübaş, living in the Milas district of Muğla, has launched a governorate-approved aid campaign so that her 5-year-old son Göktuğ, diagnosed with DMD, can regain his health and access gene therapy abroad.
A Difficult Struggle Beginning at a Young Age
The life of Ece Tülübaş, living in Milas, completely changed when her son Göktuğ was diagnosed with DMD when he was just 3 months old. Having separated from her husband at an early age and left alone with her two children, the mother is waging a great life struggle to prevent her child from experiencing muscle loss.
Campaign for Gene Therapy in Dubai
An official, governorate-approved aid campaign was launched so that Göktuğ can regain his health and access the gene therapy to be performed abroad. Within the scope of the campaign, only 15 percent of the required target amount of 2.9 million dollars has been reached so far.
Efforts Carried Out Selflessly by the Mother
Trying every possible way to keep her child alive, mother Ece Tülübaş strives to run her son's campaign single-handedly in every field, from neighborhood markets in the district to various social events, carrying a donation piggy bank in her hand.
Race Against Time and Call for Support from Philanthropists
Stating that Göktuğ has difficulty climbing stairs and moving, mother Tülübaş emphasized that the earlier the medication is received, the more beneficial it will be. The family awaits the sensitivity of philanthropist citizens during this critical process.
