Help Wanjiru through 12 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer

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

Wanjiru was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Eldoret Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Wanjiru is 29, worked as a nurse 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 Eldoret 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 $1,000 goes: • Transport to Eldoret Cancer Centre: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $270 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $615 I hope life is good to you. - Akoth
