Help Ihor through 10 rounds of treatment for colon cancer
Supporting Ihor through colon cancer: medication, transport to Kazan Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇷🇺 Tatarstan, Russia2,972 views
Ihor was diagnosed with colon cancer in November. The oncology team at Kazan Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Ihor is 56, worked as a tailor until November, 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 Kazan Cancer Centre 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400
• Scans and lab work: $340
• Transport to Kazan Cancer Centre: $130
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $230
• Household costs while unable to work: $500
Thank you so much.
