Fighting thyroid cancer: help Daniel afford treatment in Dodoma

Daniel is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Daniel was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May. The oncology team at the Dodoma Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Daniel is 30, worked as a tailor until May, 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 Dodoma 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 $1,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $720 • Scans and lab work: $135 • Transport to the Dodoma Oncology Institute: $95 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 • Household costs while unable to work: $195 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Evans

  • Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Ciudad de México donated after I showed her your page. God bless

    • Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Negombo.
