Mbale

Aisha was diagnosed with kidney cancer in January. The oncology team at the Mbale Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Aisha is 37, worked as a construction supervisor until January, 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 Mbale Oncology Institute 3 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $700 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $240 • Scans and lab work: $220 • Transport to the Mbale Oncology Institute: $120 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 Thank you so much.
