Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Dennis afford treatment in Takoradi
Supporting Dennis through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Takoradi Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇬🇭 Ghana2,927 views
In February I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Takoradi Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a bus conductor until February, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Takoradi Regional Medical Center 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $145
• Transport to Takoradi Regional Medical Center: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
• Household costs while unable to work: $235
Thanks for being kind about this.
