Fighting cervical cancer: help Popy afford treatment in Savar
Supporting Popy through cervical cancer: medication, transport to Savar Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She cannot work.

In July I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Savar Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 44, I worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 Savar Regional Medical Center 2 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 $850 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $700
• Transport to Savar Regional Medical Center: $105
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($107 in total) the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $50 raised so far (6%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Take care, Popy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Colombo so I could bring a meal. Love from Chattanooga.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Savar.
thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Popy. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
