Fighting multiple myeloma: help Vincent afford treatment in Tema

Vincent is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Tema
In May I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at the Tema Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 34, I worked as a tailor until May, 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 the Tema Oncology Institute 2 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $460 • Scans and lab work: $180 • Transport to the Tema Oncology Institute: $200 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Household costs while unable to work: $300 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
