Fighting kidney cancer: help Shafiq afford treatment in Jessore

Shafiq is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Jessore
Shafiq was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Jessore Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Shafiq is 55, worked as a bus conductor 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 Jessore Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,050 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $180 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $700 • Scans and lab work: $125 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Nasrin
