Nairobi
Collins was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May. The oncology team at Nairobi Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Collins is 39, worked as a tailor until May, 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 Nairobi Cancer Centre 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 $1,650 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Scans and lab work: $240 • Household costs while unable to work: $260 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,085 With deep gratitude, Winnie
