Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Rahima afford treatment in Cox's Bazar
Rahima is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world1,372 views
Rahima was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Cox's Bazar University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Rahima is 38, 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 Cox's Bazar 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 $1,100 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
• Transport to Cox's Bazar University Hospital: $60
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $740
• Household costs while unable to work: $195
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
