Wafula was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in April. The oncology team at Nairobi Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Wafula is 50, worked as a hairdresser until April, 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 Nairobi Regional Medical Center 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $450 goes: • Transport to Nairobi Regional Medical Center: $130 • Household costs while unable to work: $160 • Scans and lab work: $160 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

you're not alone, Halima. I hope things turn around soon. After 19 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything
