Fighting cervical cancer: help Sara afford treatment in Jimma
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Jimma University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇪🇹 Jimma, Oromia, Ethiopia1,416 views
Sara was diagnosed with cervical cancer in September. The oncology team at Jimma University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Sara is 32, worked as a hairdresser until September, 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 Jimma University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $155
• Transport to Jimma University Hospital: $90
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $955
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Aster
Good news. Because of your gifts ($344 in total) the plan for transport to Jimma University Hospital is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $845 so far, the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled.
