Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Auma afford treatment in Kakamega

Auma is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Kakamega

Auma was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at Kakamega Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Auma is 57, worked as a taxi driver until June, 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 Kakamega Regional Medical Center 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 $800 goes: • Transport to Kakamega Regional Medical Center: $130 • Scans and lab work: $250 • Household costs while unable to work: $420 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Musyoka
