Mohammedia
Ghassan was diagnosed with stomach cancer in March. The oncology team at the Mohammedia Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Ghassan is 34, worked as a bus conductor until March, 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 the Mohammedia 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $730 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Household costs while unable to work: $175 • Transport to the Mohammedia Oncology Institute: $180 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ghassan

    • Hussein SabbaghOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($730) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.

  • Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side

    • Praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.

      • Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

        • Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

          • Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
