Help Hannah through 8 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma
Hannah is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇭 Tarkwa, Western, Ghana1,534 views
Hannah was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in September. The oncology team at the Tarkwa Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Hannah is 49, worked as a farmer until September, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Tarkwa Oncology Institute 5 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $210
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $940
• Transport to the Tarkwa Oncology Institute: $185
• Household costs while unable to work: $265
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Take care, Nancy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Surat.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hannah.
It's all in the list in the story. scans and lab work is the big one at $210, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 5 people at work. Blessings
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Tarkwa.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Good luck, Nancy. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in 6th of October City donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from 6th of October City
Sending good thoughts, Nancy. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Nancy. Your post was clear and honest.
Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
