Help Kofi through 10 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Kofi is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Kofi was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at Ho University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Kofi is 58, worked as a tailor until June, 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 Ho University Hospital 3 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,000 goes: • Scans and lab work: $130 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $690 • Transport to Ho University Hospital: $70 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 Thank you so much.
