Fighting kidney cancer: help Christo afford treatment in Johannesburg

Supporting Christo through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Johannesburg Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.

Johannesburg
Christo was diagnosed with kidney cancer in April. The oncology team at Johannesburg Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Christo is 45, worked as a farmer until April, 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 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,500 goes: β€’ Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85 β€’ Household costs while unable to work: $380 β€’ Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,850 β€’ Scans and lab work: $185 I hope life is good to you.
