Our Foundation has donated to the Fundacion Amigos Contra el Cancer Infantil (FACCI) foundation in the Dominican Republic, which is committed to developing activities focused on meeting the needs of comprehensive medical treatment and improving the quality of life for children and adolescents with cancer. FACCI presented a certificate of appreciation to our Foundation for the donation.
What could be more important than making a child healthy?
“Unfortunately, because of my late father Salih Tatlıcı’s battle with cancer, my mother, Nurten Tatlıcı, and I witnessed firsthand how difficult this process was. When children are diagnosed with cancer, our sensitivity increases even further. The FACCI Foundation is a modern service organization in the Dominican Republic committed to fighting for children with low-income and diagnosed with cancer, acting with a high sense of responsibility to improve the survival and quality of life of the child with cancer and their family through support programs so that they receive appropriate treatment when they need it. As the Salih Tatlıcı Foundation, we are happy if we could be of use to such a valuable institution.” stated Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of the Foundation, regarding the donation.
