Accra
Nathaniel was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in April. The oncology team at Accra University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Nathaniel is 41, worked as a farmer until April, 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 Accra 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,650 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $970 • Scans and lab work: $220 • Transport to Accra University Hospital: $100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Household costs while unable to work: $310 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Ama

  • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nathaniel?

    • Ama AbdulOwnerAnswerAddress verified

      Thank you. If you're in Accra I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.

  • Praying for you, Ama. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Ottawa donated after I showed her your page. Take care.

      Hope this works out for you. After 15 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything

      • stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side

        • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nathaniel!

          • Ama AbdulOwnerAnswerAddress verified

            It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $970, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.

        • Praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

            Take care, Ama. This could happen to any of us.

            • How is Nathaniel doing now?

              • Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

                • Sending love. Wishing Nathaniel a smooth procedure and a full recovery.

                  • Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. God bless

                    • Rooting for you, Ama. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

                      • Rooting for you. Get well soon. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Blessings
