Fighting prostate cancer: help Ruth afford treatment in Machakos
Supporting Ruth through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Machakos University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇰🇪 Machakos, Kenya2,375 views
Ruth was diagnosed with prostate cancer in September. The oncology team at Machakos University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Ruth is 30, worked as a bank teller until September, 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 Machakos University Hospital 3 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250
• Transport to Machakos University Hospital: $70
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130
With deep gratitude,
David

Sending love, David. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Love from Parramatta.
hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, David. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
