Fighting colon cancer: help Zainab afford treatment in Faisalabad

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

Faisalabad
Zainab was diagnosed with colon cancer in October. The oncology team at the Faisalabad Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Zainab is 38, worked as a bus conductor until October, 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 the Faisalabad Oncology Institute 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $630 • Scans and lab work: $145 • Transport to the Faisalabad Oncology Institute: $115 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 • Household costs while unable to work: $315 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Laiba

      Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
