Help Taras through 6 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer
Taras is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world2,538 views
Taras was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June. The oncology team at Duisburg University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Taras is 33, 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 Duisburg University Hospital 2 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 $2,600 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $310
• Transport to Duisburg University Hospital: $400
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,890
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Zoya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Zoya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
You're not alone, Zoya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Leicester
Good luck, Zoya. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Negombo this morning. Greetings from Negombo.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Chennai but we're thinking of you.
