Dear Metin,
Truman Medical
Center Lakewood has won the lottery! Imagine my surprise to receive a generous
donation of 35 signed lithographs for our hospital.
We are a
two-campus public ‘safety-net’ hospital in Kansas City,
Missouri. Our hospital campus is located in the suburbs of eastern
Kansas City. Many of the patients we serve are the working poor, with
very little or no insurance. Because of your
generous heart, Metin, our patients will be exposed to beautiful, life
changing artwork!
Our hospital
campus includes the original hospital building commissioned by former
president Harry S. Truman in the 1930’s. Harry Truman was the
father of healthcare for all, regardless of ability to pay and a dear
friend to Truman Medical Center Lakewood. Like Harry Truman, we have
stood the test of time and continue to serve our community with quality
healthcare. Our mission has remained the same for over 150
years…‘no one is ever turned away’.
We are in the process of completing a 175,000 square foot addition to our hospital. It will include 50 new, private inpatient rooms. Scientific studies have proven art is a source of healing in hospitals. Keeping that in mind, our hospital Chief Operating Leader has chosen to decorate 35 of the new hospital rooms with your beautiful, signed lithographs!
Imagine the
enjoyment our patients will receive as they complete their healing
surrounded with beautiful,
uplifting artwork from world famous artist, Metin Bereketli!
Through your generosity and never-ending mission to provide healing through art, you have blessed our hospital, patients, visitors and caregivers.
Thank you from the
bottom of our hearts, Metin. Carry on your
mission to bring beauty and healing to our world!
Sincerely,
Leslie

Dear Mr. Bereketli,
On behalf of the Lupus Foundation of America, Arizona Chapter, I would like to give you my thanks for your donation of such beautiful artwork. They are truly extraordinary and we are thrilled to be able to add these to our event. We know that your artwork will be a hit and it will help us to raise much money for our goal of lupus research, education and support.
I am especially thankful for the personalized pieces for myself and the Arizona Chapter of the Lupus Foundation. This is something very special for all of us.
We anticipate that our inaugural fundraising event will be a success and lead into many years of fun and exciting events while we raise money for this very important cause...
Sincerely,

Dear Metin,
You will be receiving an official note of recognition from the university in the near future but I wanted to pass along my personal thanks to you for your generous gift of twenty prints of "Dancing Hands" for the pediatric units at The University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago.
As the director of The Craniofacial Center, I have already seen the enjoyment that our cleft and craniofacial patients and their families get from viewing the playful print. Your thoughtfulness, generosity, and continued support of our mission of healing is much appreciated by all of us.
I look forward to having you visit us on your next visit to Chicago so you can see firsthand the joy your work has generated.
Your friend,
