Help Bakari through 6 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Mwanza University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Bakari was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Mwanza University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Bakari is 46, worked as a bus conductor 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 Mwanza University Hospital 3 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,300 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 • Scans and lab work: $180 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $840 • Household costs while unable to work: $205 Glad we found this place. - Lucy
