Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Khadija afford treatment in Jeddah

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Jeddah University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Khadija was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in March. The oncology team at Jeddah University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Khadija is 28, worked as a bank teller until March, 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 Jeddah University Hospital 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,750 goes: • Transport to Jeddah University Hospital: $270 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500 • Scans and lab work: $910 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,070 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  2. Update from Jeddah: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 15% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
