Help Wekesa through 12 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Eldoret University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Wekesa was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Eldoret University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Wekesa is 44, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Eldoret University Hospital 5 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 $650 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $320
• Transport to Eldoret University Hospital: $175
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $155
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Hellen. Wishing Wekesa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Eldoret!
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Fresno this morning. Take care.
