Dhaka
Shapla was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at Dhaka University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Shapla is 54, worked as a nurse 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 Dhaka University Hospital 5 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 $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $900 • Scans and lab work: $220 • Transport to Dhaka University Hospital: $90 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 • Household costs while unable to work: $200 Glad we found this place. - Tithi

  3. Small update. $45 so far, the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled. - Tithi
