Kobina was diagnosed with colon cancer in September. The oncology team at Accra University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Kobina is 37, worked as a bank teller until September, 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 Accra University Hospital 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 $1,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $580 • Scans and lab work: $160 • Transport to Accra University Hospital: $110 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 • Household costs while unable to work: $95 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Araba
