Chantel's thyroid cancer treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Mthatha Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Chantel was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in February. The oncology team at Mthatha Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Chantel is 25, worked as a bus conductor until February, 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 Mthatha Regional Medical Center 5 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 $2,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Scans and lab work: $410
• Transport to Mthatha Regional Medical Center: $270
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Household costs while unable to work: $405
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Aisha
Good news. Because of your gifts ($399 in total) I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
