Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Nathaniel afford treatment in Madina

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

Madina
Nathaniel was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in October. The oncology team at Madina Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Nathaniel is 25, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until October, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Madina Cancer Centre 2 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $670 • Scans and lab work: $180 • Household costs while unable to work: $350 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
