Help Waqas through 4 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
Waqas is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇰 Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan152 views
Waqas was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Abbottabad Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Waqas is 42, worked as a bank teller until August, 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 Abbottabad Cancer Centre 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 $750 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Scans and lab work: $95
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $560
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

- Truly grateful for the support
I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
- Truly grateful for the support
This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.

Hope you get there. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Stay strong, Bushra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Stay strong, Bushra. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
