Fighting kidney cancer: help Vincent afford treatment in Tema

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Tema Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Tema
Vincent was diagnosed with kidney cancer in June. The oncology team at Tema Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Vincent is 31, worked as a bus conductor until June, 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 Tema Cancer Centre 4 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 $550 goes: • Transport to Tema Cancer Centre: $75 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $430 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 Glad we found this place. - Victoria

Updates from Victoria

  1. Thank you all. We're at 29% now ($160). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 13% funded and the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled.

    best of luck, Victoria. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Cali so I could bring a meal. God bless.

      Thinking of you and your family, Victoria. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
