Help Rahel through 12 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Gondar Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇪🇹 Gondar, Amhara, Ethiopia1,529 views
Rahel was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May. The oncology team at Gondar Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Rahel is 33, worked as a hairdresser 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 Gondar 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $660
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Transport to Gondar Cancer Centre: $125
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80
• Household costs while unable to work: $245
Glad we found this place.
