8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Comilla Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Comilla
Rima was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at the Comilla Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Rima is 56, worked as a bus conductor 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 the Comilla Oncology Institute 3 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 $1,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 • Scans and lab work: $160 • Transport to the Comilla Oncology Institute: $60 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 • Household costs while unable to work: $125 I hope life is good to you.
