Chantel's prostate cancer treatment fund
Supporting Chantel through prostate cancer: medication, transport to the Stellenbosch Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇿🇦 Western Cape, South Africa2,313 views
Chantel was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May. The oncology team at the Stellenbosch Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Chantel is 26, worked as a farmer until May, 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 Stellenbosch 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 $2,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,550
• Scans and lab work: $200
• Transport to the Stellenbosch Oncology Institute: $140
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Household costs while unable to work: $510
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Stellenbosch.
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Casablanca so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Thinking of you, Gerhard. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
