Help Nakato through 12 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Mbarara Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Mbarara
Nakato was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May. The oncology team at Mbarara Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Nakato is 56, worked as a bus conductor until May, 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 Mbarara Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000 • Scans and lab work: $140 • Transport to Mbarara Cancer Centre: $170 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $145 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
