Help Maryam through 4 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
Maryam is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇰 Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan811 views
Maryam was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at Faisalabad Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Maryam is 43, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Faisalabad Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Household costs while unable to work: $260
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $680
• Transport to Faisalabad Regional Medical Center: $140
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Aleena. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Stay strong, Aleena. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Jeddah but we're thinking of you.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Maryam
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. scans and lab work is the biggest at $220. Fair thing to want to know.
take care, Aleena. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Yekaterinburg.
