Araba's multiple myeloma treatment fund

Supporting Araba through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Accra Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Accra
Araba was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Accra Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Araba is 31, worked as a bakery worker 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 Accra Cancer Centre 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 $1,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $610 • Scans and lab work: $260 • Transport to Accra Cancer Centre: $85 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Household costs while unable to work: $340 Thank you so much. - Samuel

Updates from Samuel

  1. Quick update: $574 raised so far (41%). I made the first payment toward transport to Accra Cancer Centre. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($324). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($269 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
