Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Chantel afford treatment in Soweto
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Soweto Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Chantel was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in January. The oncology team at Soweto Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Chantel is 32, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until January, 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 Soweto Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $360
• Scans and lab work: $390
• Transport to Soweto Cancer Centre: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, Rashid. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
Stay strong, Rashid. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
