Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Upendo afford treatment in Fort Portal

In August I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Fort Portal Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 34, I worked as a farmer until August, 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 Fort Portal Regional Medical Center 4 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $550 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $270 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Scans and lab work: $210 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Upendo
