Help Sajib through 4 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Dhaka Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,080 views
Sajib was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in June. The oncology team at Dhaka Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Sajib is 25, worked as a taxi driver until June, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Dhaka Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $400 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $165
• Transport to Dhaka Cancer Centre: $60
• Scans and lab work: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
If you're reading this, thank you.

good luck. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Lapu-Lapu donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 12 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sajib.
Sure. The biggest one is household costs while unable to work, $165. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Dhaka
Praying for you, Saif. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Kampala.
