Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Nahom afford treatment in Gondar
Supporting Nahom through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Gondar Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇪🇹 Gondar, Amhara, Ethiopia578 views
In January I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Gondar Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in April. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 39, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until January, 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 Gondar Cancer Centre 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $400 goes:
• Transport to Gondar Cancer Centre: $105
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Household costs while unable to work: $230
Thanks for reading all this.
