Fighting kidney cancer: help Rina afford treatment in Dhaka
Supporting Rina through kidney cancer: medication, transport to the Dhaka Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh1,625 views
Rina was diagnosed with kidney cancer in April. The oncology team at the Dhaka Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Rina is 42, worked as a primary school teacher until April, 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 the Dhaka Oncology Institute 5 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: $630
• Scans and lab work: $105
• Transport to the Dhaka Oncology Institute: $85
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Household costs while unable to work: $145
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this, Lamia. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Dhaka
how is Rina doing now?
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours.
sending love, Lamia. Your post was clear and honest. God bless!
Wishing Rina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Abbottabad.
Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Xalapa.
Wishing Rina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
