Fighting cervical cancer: help Sultana afford treatment in Dhaka

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Dhaka Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Dhaka
Sultana was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Dhaka Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Sultana is 46, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Dhaka Cancer Centre 2 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 $1,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $920 • Household costs while unable to work: $250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $30 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Dipu

    Practical and effective help

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
