Evans's thyroid cancer treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Kinondoni Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇹🇿 Tanzania493 views
Evans was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Kinondoni Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Evans is 39, worked as a shop owner until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Kinondoni Regional Medical Center 4 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $760
• Household costs while unable to work: $270
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Amani
Small update. $218 so far, the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($193 in total) the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 9% thanks to 1 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Evans
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $760 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
take care, Amani. Hope you get there. Love from Hialeah.
hope the doctors have good news. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kinondoni
Rooting for you, Amani. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
thanks for sharing this, Amani. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Anaheim
Wishing you peace, Amani. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. All the best!
