Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Muthoni afford treatment in Nairobi

Supporting Muthoni through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Nairobi Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Nairobi
Muthoni was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Nairobi Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Muthoni is 53, worked as a farmer until August, 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 Nairobi Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,400 goes: • Transport to Nairobi Regional Medical Center: $60 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,240 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Thinking of you, Nafula. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
