The Foreign Citizens Advice Centre here in Kuşadası and The Ege Eye Newspaper are putting the call out there to all those members of our community both here in Kuşadası and abroad to please help get Cagla Deniz over the line and on her way to Dubai for her stem cell treatment.
Some of you have already helped via donations, attending concerts, markets etc., which the family are extremely grateful for. It has been a hard 11 months for Cagla’s family who have been trying to raise the cost of treatment abroad for their 7 year old daughter.
The local economy for a turkish family has not been easy of late and as a result the target set has taken much longer to reach. They have reached remarkably, 81% of their target to-date with not much time left to raise the balance of funds needed with their Permit from the Governor expiring very soon. So, we felt that all of us combined could help give her one last push to get her over the line.
Please feel free to share the below links with friends, business colleagues and family.

Cagla Deniz is 7 years old and she suffers from SMA Type 2 which is a rare genetic disorder. SMA is a genetic disorder that starts in the central nervous system (CNS) and affects all the muscles in the body. Due to the degenerative nature of the disease, people with SMA will experience a decline in muscle strength over time, although the rate and severity can vary among individuals.
Type-2 (out of 4 types) is the second most rapidly growing type of SMA and if not cured it is deadly Cagla is unable to use her body as she doesn’t have any muscle tone, her mom has to hold her head up constantly because if her head drops and she cannot lift it up it will cause her to stop breathing and she can die. She has difficulty breathing and swallowing. HELP CAGLA LIVE. https://www.gofundme.com/f/give-cagla-deniz-a-chance-to-live
A charity bazaar was organized by Kuşadası Municipality and Kuşadası Turkish Mothers Association Kuşadası branch for Çağla Deniz Tunç, the only SMA Type-2 patient in Kuşadası. The charity bazaar, which was organized with the approval of the governor’s office in Kuşadası Kaya Şavkay Square, was attended by the family and relatives of Butterfly Girl Çağla,
Turkish Mothers Association President Tülay Mutlu, association members and citizens. The income collected during the bazaar, where food and souvenir stands were set up, will contribute to Çağla’s treatment.
‘LET’S MAKE OUR GIRL ÇAĞLA SMILE’
Tülay Mutlu, the President of the Turkish Mothers Association Kuşadası Branch, who organized the bazaar for SMA patient Çağla, stated that all the income from the bazaar would bring hope to Çağla, and said, ‘There is a short time left until the end of the aid campaign that was started with the permission of the governor’s office for our daughter Çağla.
At this point, we need to unite and bring our daughter together with the treatment she will receive in Dubai. I know very well the sensitivity of our city on this issue. Let’s support our daughter before time runs out and let’s bring Çağla back to health with one last move.’
Making a statement within the scope of the bazaar, Çağla Deniz Tunç’s aunt Elif Tunç stated that there is very little time left until Çağla’s governor’s permit ends and said, ‘We need your support very much. Please support our daughter with whatever you want, no matter how little or how little. We have been struggling for 11 months. We are trying to collect the 1 million 820 thousand dollars needed to get our child back on her feet. We can get Çağla back on her feet with your donations. https://www.cagladenizeumutol.com/odeme
Let your contribution be in every drop of the medicine she will receive and regain her health. Please do not ignore our Çağla, the child of Kuşadası.’
