Farah's stomach cancer treatment fund
Farah is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world6,537 views
Farah was diagnosed with stomach cancer in November. The oncology team at Mecca University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Farah is 52, worked as a tailor until November, 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 Mecca University Hospital 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 $4,950 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,450
• Scans and lab work: $840
• Transport to Mecca University Hospital: $270
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you, Rasha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope February is when things finally get easier
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
stay strong, Rasha. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Love from Los Angeles.
wishing you peace, Rasha. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Please keep us posted. All the best.
wishing you peace, Rasha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Mansoura.
hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Mecca.
