Supporting Victor through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Mwanza Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.

Victor was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in March. The oncology team at Mwanza Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Victor is 46, worked as a shop owner until March, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Mwanza Regional Medical Center 5 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $860
• Scans and lab work: $210
• Transport to Mwanza Regional Medical Center: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70
• Household costs while unable to work: $100
If you're reading this, thank you.
