Naliaka was diagnosed with stomach cancer in June. The oncology team at Dar es Salaam Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Naliaka is 56, worked as a farmer until June, 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 Dar es Salaam 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,500 goes: • Scans and lab work: $220 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $960 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80 • Household costs while unable to work: $240 Glad we found this place.

      everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Karachi donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

      • Wishing you the best. Wishing Naliaka a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.

        • Sending good thoughts, Peter. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier
