Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Samuel afford treatment in Jimma
Samuel is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In June I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Jimma Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 44, I worked as a bus conductor until June, 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 Jimma Cancer Centre 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $300 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $130
• Transport to Jimma Cancer Centre: $70
• Scans and lab work: $100
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you and your family, Samuel. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Samuel. Wishing Samuel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Manila so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Samuel. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
