Multan

Muhammad was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at the Multan Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Muhammad is 45, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 the Multan Oncology Institute 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 $1,000 goes: • Scans and lab work: $130 • Household costs while unable to work: $115 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $755 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Maryam

Good news. Because of your gifts ($265 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 18% funded and I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

Take care, Maryam. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Oakland this morning. Take care.
