Dola's stomach cancer treatment fund

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Dhaka Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Dhaka
Dola was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at Dhaka Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Dola is 52, worked as a tailor 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 Dhaka 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 $450 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $300 • Scans and lab work: $80 • Transport to Dhaka Regional Medical Center: $70 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Hossain

            Sending strength, Hossain. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
