Fighting stomach cancer: help Sajib afford treatment in Bogra
Sajib is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇧🇩 Bangladesh2,170 views
Sajib was diagnosed with stomach cancer in November. The oncology team at Bogra Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Sajib is 30, worked as a bus conductor until November, 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 Bogra Regional Medical Center 2 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 $1,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $170
• Transport to Bogra Regional Medical Center: $115
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $155
I hope life is good to you.
