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

Chattogram
Hridoy was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Chattogram Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Hridoy is 53, worked as a farmer 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 Chattogram 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,300 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $40 • Household costs while unable to work: $185 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,075 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Rubina

  1. Update from Chattogram: we've started the first stage. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($152). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($312 in total) I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
