Help Selam through 8 rounds of treatment for colon cancer

Selam is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Jimma
Selam was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at Jimma Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Selam is 29, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Jimma 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $300 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $130 • Scans and lab work: $135 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $35 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • Sending love, Roman. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Surabaya but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Jimma

    • Thinking of you and your family, Roman. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest

      • Wishing you the best, Roman. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. All the best.

        • Good luck, Roman. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Jimma.
