Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Irene afford treatment in Takoradi

12 rounds of treatment are planned at the Takoradi Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Takoradi
Irene was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in June. The oncology team at the Takoradi Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Irene is 39, worked as a taxi driver until June, 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 the Takoradi Oncology Institute 5 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,200 goes: • Transport to the Takoradi Oncology Institute: $100 • Household costs while unable to work: $280 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $820 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Lawrence
