Help Kevin through 4 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma
Kevin is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Kenya1,658 views
Kevin was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at Nairobi Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Kevin is 45, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until May, 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 Nairobi Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Scans and lab work: $135
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $750
• Household costs while unable to work: $315
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
