Bahir Dar
Sosina was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in March. The oncology team at Bahir Dar University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Sosina is 43, worked as a tailor until March, 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 Bahir Dar University Hospital 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 $750 goes: โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $240 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $100 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $410 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Fasil
