Fighting multiple myeloma: help Laurent afford treatment in Casablanca
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Casablanca Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇲🇦 Casablanca-Settat, Morocco1,446 views
In July I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Casablanca Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 47, I worked as a hairdresser until July, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Casablanca Cancer Centre 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $800 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $260
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $175
• Household costs while unable to work: $365
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
