Fighting kidney cancer: help Popy afford treatment in Dhaka
Popy is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh811 views
Popy was diagnosed with kidney cancer in July. The oncology team at Dhaka Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Popy is 49, worked as a primary school teacher until July, 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 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $560
• Scans and lab work: $125
• Transport to Dhaka Regional Medical Center: $75
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50
• Household costs while unable to work: $240
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts, Rashed. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
what exactly is the $1,050 for?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the biggest at $560. Thanks, that means a lot.
Take care, Rashed. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Makassar.
Any update on how things are going in Dhaka?
Best of luck, Rashed. This could happen to any of us.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dhaka.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about chemotherapy and medication not covered, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
you're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up.
hope this works out for you. Don't give up. God bless.
Rooting for you, Rashed. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hope this works out for you. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
