Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Lilian afford treatment in Nakuru
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Nakuru Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Lilian was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in December. The oncology team at the Nakuru Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Lilian is 53, worked as a taxi driver until December, 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 Nakuru 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 $1,750 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $135
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Household costs while unable to work: $365
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
How is Lilian doing now?
Good luck, Karanja. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 33 people at work.
Praying for you, Karanja. Shared it with a few friends
