Hiwot was diagnosed with colon cancer in April. The oncology team at Hawassa Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Hiwot is 39, worked as a construction supervisor until April, 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 Hawassa Regional Medical Center 2 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 $1,300 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $310 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $840 • Scans and lab work: $150 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
