Fighting cervical cancer: help Imran afford treatment in Pretoria

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

Pretoria
Imran was diagnosed with cervical cancer in April. The oncology team at the Pretoria Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Imran is 38, worked as a farmer until April, 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 the Pretoria 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,900 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,550 • Transport to the Pretoria Oncology Institute: $245 With deep gratitude, Charlene
