Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Yasmin afford treatment in Cairo

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

Cairo

In August I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Cairo University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 26, I worked as a shop owner until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Cairo University Hospital 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $700 goes: • Transport to Cairo University Hospital: $140 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $520 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $40 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
