Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Hamza afford treatment in Heliopolis

Hamza is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Heliopolis
Hamza was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in January. The oncology team at Heliopolis Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Hamza is 49, worked as a bank teller until January, 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 Heliopolis Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 • Scans and lab work: $185 • Transport to Heliopolis Cancer Centre: $140 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $330 Every share and every dollar helps. - Yasmin

Updates from Yasmin

  1. 50% there. I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Thank you.

  2. Update from Heliopolis: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 35% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Small update. $615 so far, the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled.
