Fighting thyroid cancer: help Yusuf afford treatment in Shubra

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

Shubra
Yusuf was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in March. The oncology team at Shubra University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Yusuf is 31, worked as a bakery worker 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 Shubra University Hospital 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: • Scans and lab work: $230 • Household costs while unable to work: $210 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $560 • Transport to Shubra University Hospital: $200 Thank you so much. - Khadija

    Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Shubra.
