Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Jemima afford treatment in Kumasi
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Kumasi Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In February I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Kumasi Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 26, I worked as a shop owner until February, 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 Kumasi Regional Medical Center 3 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 $300 goes:
• Transport to Kumasi Regional Medical Center: $125
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Scans and lab work: $115
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jemima.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. transport to Kumasi Regional Medical Center is the biggest at $125. Thanks for looking so closely.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Kumasi.
So sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. After 12 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto
