Berkin Arslanogullariformer goalkeeper of theUnion Berlin Under 19, he had to undergo surgery to amputate a leg due to bone cancer. The German club, as reported in many local media, has launched a fundraiser to help him. Last season, the 2005-born player had even trained with the first team, playing a friendly before the unexpected diagnosis. Despite intensive chemotherapy, the disease did not disappear and as a result, the 19-year-old had to give up his left lower limb.
The situation is dramatic and forces his parents, given the care that Arslanogullari needs, to not go to work. In addition, the family’s apartment is not accessible to people with disabilities, which is why it is urgent to take measures to renovate and rehabilitate the property or find a new apartment. However, the costs are enormous and so Union Berlin, together with the foundation “UNION UNITED. Shoulder to Shoulder”, has launched a fundraiser to allow his family to raise some money.
