10 rounds of treatment are planned at Zagazig Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Zagazig
Ines was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in November. The oncology team at Zagazig Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Ines is 52, worked as a bus conductor until November, 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 Zagazig Regional Medical Center 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 $1,350 goes: • Transport to Zagazig Regional Medical Center: $155 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $960 • Household costs while unable to work: $235 Thanks for reading all this. - Hatem

Updates from Hatem

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($824 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($469 in total) I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Zagazig: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

        Stay strong, Hatem. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Porto Alegre so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Zagazig.
