Help Nanami through 12 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma
Nanami is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇯🇵 802-4539, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, Japan2,022 views
Nanami was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Kitakyushu Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Nanami is 53, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Kitakyushu 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 $6,650 goes:
• Transport to Kitakyushu Regional Medical Center: $430
• Scans and lab work: $710
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,800
• Household costs while unable to work: $710
With deep gratitude,
Kana
