Fighting thyroid cancer: help Puja afford treatment in Savar

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

Savar
Puja was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at the Savar Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Puja is 24, worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 the Savar 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $650 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $210 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $360 • Scans and lab work: $80 If you're reading this, thank you.

  • Praying for you, Nargis. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

    • Keep going, Nargis. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.
