Dar es Salaam
Chebet was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July. The oncology team at Dar es Salaam Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Chebet is 47, worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 Dar es Salaam Cancer Centre 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 $850 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $580 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Transport to Dar es Salaam Cancer Centre: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $105 Thanks for being kind about this. - Nabirye
