Fighting cervical cancer: help Nazia afford treatment in Lahore

Nazia is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Nazia was diagnosed with cervical cancer in February. The oncology team at Lahore Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Nazia is 53, worked as a hairdresser until February, 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 Lahore Regional Medical Center 5 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,550 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 • Scans and lab work: $195 • Household costs while unable to work: $240 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Junaid

  • Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!

    • Best of luck. Wishing Nazia a smooth procedure and a full recovery

      • Wishing you the best, Junaid. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Aberdeen so I could bring a meal. Take care

        • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Mangaluru.

          • Rooting for you, Junaid. Hope you get there.

            • get well soon. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

              • Good luck. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

                • praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!

                  • Ingrid Francisca RochaVerified organization

                    Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 17 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
