Embakasi
Brian was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Embakasi University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Brian is 51, worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 Embakasi 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 $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $970 • Scans and lab work: $165 • Transport to Embakasi University Hospital: $100 • Household costs while unable to work: $265 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Brian.

    • Tabitha Akinyi KariukiOwnerAnswer

      Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $970 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
