Johannesburg
Kagiso was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at Johannesburg Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Kagiso is 24, worked as a construction supervisor until May, 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 Johannesburg Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,100 goes: • Scans and lab work: $300 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400 • Household costs while unable to work: $340 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 Thanks for being kind about this. - Clinton
