Help Maliha through 10 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

Maliha is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Maliha was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at the Gazipur Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Maliha is 58, worked as a bus conductor until July, 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 the Gazipur Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $620 • Scans and lab work: $195 • Transport to the Gazipur Oncology Institute: $110 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 • Household costs while unable to work: $130 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
