10 rounds of treatment are planned at Dhaka Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Rahima was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in December. The oncology team at Dhaka Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Rahima is 34, worked as a nurse 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 Dhaka Cancer Centre 4 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,100 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $240 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $630 • Scans and lab work: $180 If you're reading this, thank you.
