Samira was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at Riyadh Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Samira is 46, worked as a tailor until June, 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 Riyadh 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $6,550 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $640 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,750 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $510 • Transport to Riyadh Regional Medical Center: $650 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Sami

Updates from Sami

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 27% funded and I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($1,449). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled.

  3. Small update. $791 so far, we've started the first stage. - Sami

      Take care, Sami. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

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

        • Sami Mazen MansourOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

          Household costs while unable to work is $640 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

      • Thinking of you and your family, Sami. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Nuremberg but we're thinking of you. All the best.

        • Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.

                  • Hope things get better soon, Sami. I hope things turn around soon.

                    • Stay strong, Sami. Hope this works out for you. God bless
