Himari was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in February. The oncology team at Kobe Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Himari is 49, worked as a taxi driver until February, 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 Kobe Regional Medical Center 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 $3,550 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400 • Scans and lab work: $1,300 • Household costs while unable to work: $960 • Transport to Kobe Regional Medical Center: $890 Thank you for reading my story.
