Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Andile afford treatment in Durban
Supporting Andile through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Durban Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇿🇦 Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa1,179 views
Andile was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at the Durban Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Andile is 24, worked as a shop owner 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 the Durban Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $500 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200
• Scans and lab work: $160
• Transport to the Durban Oncology Institute: $140
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Update from Durban: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 8% thanks to 2 of you. I made the first payment toward transport to the Durban Oncology Institute. More news soon.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 3% funded and I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Kreesan. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope this works out for you. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Durban.
