Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Lina afford treatment in Shubra

Supporting Lina through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Shubra University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.

Shubra
Lina was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at Shubra University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Lina is 40, worked as a taxi driver 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 Shubra 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $770 • Scans and lab work: $300 • Transport to Shubra University Hospital: $110 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Household costs while unable to work: $270 Thanks for being kind about this. - Imad
