Aisha's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Aisha is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa1,433 views
Aisha was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at the Pretoria Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Aisha is 36, worked as a hairdresser until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Pretoria Oncology Institute 2 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Household costs while unable to work: $540
• Scans and lab work: $415
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Thabisa. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
