Saint-Denis
Khalid was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in March. The oncology team at Saint-Denis Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Khalid is 58, worked as a hairdresser until March, 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 Saint-Denis 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,800 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,700 • Scans and lab work: $850 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Qasim

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,284 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 5% funded and I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

    Hope things get better soon, Qasim. Get well soon.

    • Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Riverside donated after I showed her your page. Take care

      • what exactly is the $8,800 for?

        • Sure. The biggest one is nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team, $500. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.

      • Praying for you, Qasim. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Tema

        • Sending strength, Qasim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best

          • Best of luck, Qasim. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care

            • is there anything that isn't money that would help Khalid?

              • Thank you. If you're in Saint-Denis I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

            • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Juiz de Fora.

              • How is Khalid doing now?

                • Thinking of you, Qasim. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope June is when things finally get easier.

                  • good luck, Qasim. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Muzaffarpur donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

                      • Rooting for you, Qasim. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

                        • Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

                          • thanks for sharing this, Qasim. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Bacoor.

                              • Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings

                                • This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Saint-Denis.

                                  • Best of luck, Qasim. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Birmingham but we're thinking of you.
