Fighting kidney cancer: help Junaid afford treatment in Lahore
Supporting Junaid through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Lahore University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan658 views
Junaid was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Lahore University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Junaid is 33, worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 Lahore University Hospital 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $380
• Scans and lab work: $120
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Junaid
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($380) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lahore
wishing you peace, Nimra. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Jaipur so I could bring a meal. Love from Scranton.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Junaid?
keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
How is Junaid doing now?
Thanks for sharing this, Nimra. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.
best of luck, Nimra. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 14 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Orlando.
Wishing Junaid a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Seoul so I could bring a meal.
thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
hope things get better soon, Nimra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Lahore.
Thinking of you. Wishing Junaid a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
keep going, Nimra. Get well soon. Don't give up.
Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
