Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Brett afford treatment in Pretoria
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Pretoria Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa1,753 views
Brett was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at Pretoria Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Brett is 50, worked as a shop owner until June, 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 Pretoria Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350
• Scans and lab work: $260
• Transport to Pretoria Regional Medical Center: $230
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Household costs while unable to work: $510
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Mthunzi
Update from Pretoria: I made the first payment toward transport to Pretoria Regional Medical Center. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Hang in there, Mthunzi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Awka so I could bring a meal. God bless
