Fighting multiple myeloma: help Megan afford treatment in Pretoria

Supporting Megan through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Pretoria Cancer Centre, and living costs while She cannot work.

Megan was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Pretoria Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Megan is 48, 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 her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Pretoria 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,300 • Scans and lab work: $210 • Household costs while unable to work: $590 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Aisha
