Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Nasrin afford treatment in Savar

Nasrin is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Savar
Nasrin was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in March. The oncology team at Savar Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Nasrin is 31, worked as a primary school teacher until March, 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 Savar Cancer Centre 5 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 $1,050 goes: โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $230 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $760 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
