Help me through 8 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer

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

Kasarani
In August I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Kasarani Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 51, I worked as a farmer until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Kasarani Cancer Centre 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. 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: $750 • Scans and lab work: $110 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Transport to Kasarani Cancer Centre: $70 With deep gratitude, Bakari
