Akello's kidney cancer treatment fund

Akello is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Kasarani
Akello was diagnosed with kidney cancer in April. The oncology team at Kasarani Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Akello is 47, worked as a hairdresser until April, 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 Kasarani Regional Medical Center 4 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 $1,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Household costs while unable to work: $345 Thanks for reading all this. - Chebet

      Sending strength, Chebet. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
