Help Evans through 8 rounds of treatment for kidney cancer

Evans is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Evans was diagnosed with kidney cancer in September. The oncology team at Kasarani University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Evans is 50, worked as a nurse until September, 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 Kasarani University Hospital 4 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 $1,900 goes: • Transport to Kasarani University Hospital: $190 • Household costs while unable to work: $250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,365 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Atieno

Updates from Atieno

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($287 in total) I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $167 raised so far (9%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Update from Kasarani: we've started the first stage. We're at 1% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Atieno
