Help Nimra through 4 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

Supporting Nimra through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Abbottabad Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Abbottabad
Nimra was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March. The oncology team at Abbottabad Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Nimra is 34, worked as a shop owner until March, 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 Abbottabad Cancer Centre 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,050 goes: • Transport to Abbottabad Cancer Centre: $65 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $770 • Household costs while unable to work: $175 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $40 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Ezekiel C. FernandezQuestion

    can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Abbottabad.

    • Uzma Nida KakarOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in Abbottabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.

  • Neha Thakkar

    Keep going, Uzma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

    • Sheila G. NavarroQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nimra!

      • Uzma Nida KakarOwnerAnswer

        Transport to Abbottabad Cancer Centre is $65 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.

    • Zvi Roi Rosenberg

      Thinking of you, Uzma. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page

      • Obinna Paul Adeyemi

        Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Laredo this morning. Blessings.
