Help Babar through 6 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Multan Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇵🇰 Multan, Punjab, Pakistan1,739 views
Babar was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Multan Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Babar is 25, worked as a shop owner 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 Multan Cancer Centre 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 $1,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $490
• Scans and lab work: $180
• Transport to Multan Cancer Centre: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $145
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Babar
It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $490, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Take care.
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
how is Babar doing now?
