6 rounds of treatment are planned at Kampala Regional Medical Center; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Nancy was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at Kampala Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Nancy is 28, worked as a tailor 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 Kampala Regional Medical Center 2 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 $850 goes: • Transport to Kampala Regional Medical Center: $105 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Scans and lab work: $115 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $580 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings

    • Is transport to Kampala Regional Medical Center the biggest cost or is there more coming?

      • Sure. The biggest one is transport to Kampala Regional Medical Center, $105. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

    • Rooting for you, Nakato. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.

      • you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from London.
