Jepkoech was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at Mombasa Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Jepkoech is 51, worked as a taxi driver until May, 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 Mombasa 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 $1,450 goes: • Scans and lab work: $220 • Transport to Mombasa Regional Medical Center: $160 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,070 If you're reading this, thank you.

                          Get well soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

                          • Best of luck, Kiprop. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Mombasa.

                            • Good luck, Kiprop. It takes guts to ask. Well done

                              • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Kyiv this morning

                                • Thinking of you and your family, Kiprop. Shared it with a few friends. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
