Help Collins through 10 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma
Collins is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇰🇪 Kakamega, Kakamega, Kenya1,491 views
Collins was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in March. The oncology team at the Kakamega Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Collins is 55, worked as a farmer until March, 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 Kakamega Oncology Institute 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150
• Scans and lab work: $200
• Transport to the Kakamega Oncology Institute: $165
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
• Household costs while unable to work: $370
If you're reading this, thank you.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($189 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
