Hellen's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Supporting Hellen through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to the Kasarani Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇰🇪 Kenya1,995 views
Hellen was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in January. The oncology team at the Kasarani Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Hellen is 26, worked as a hairdresser until January, 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 Kasarani Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $870
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50
• Household costs while unable to work: $330
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
