Ahmed was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at Pretoria Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Ahmed is 45, worked as a nurse until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Pretoria Regional Medical Center 5 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $195 • Transport to Pretoria Regional Medical Center: $210 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200 • Household costs while unable to work: $395 Glad we found this place.

      Thinking of you. Wishing Ahmed a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

        Hope things get better soon, Lwazi. I hope things turn around soon.
