Hassan was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at the Mississauga Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Hassan is 49, worked as a tailor until August, 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 Mississauga 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 $10,500 goes: โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,000 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $940 โ€ข Transport to the Mississauga Oncology Institute: $600 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $540 โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $1,420 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

        praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings

        • Thinking of you, Sara. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

          • Wishing you the best, Sara. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mississauga.

            • Thinking of you, Sara. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
