Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Kidist afford treatment in Jimma
Supporting Kidist through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Jimma University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,862 views
Kidist was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in April. The oncology team at Jimma University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Kidist is 36, worked as a shop owner until April, 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 Jimma University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Transport to Jimma University Hospital: $70
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $840
• Scans and lab work: $160

- Exactly what I needed
I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
- Great help in a difficult time
This is the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity. They didn't just offer help; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and followed through on every commitment.
