Help William through 6 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Ho University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇬🇭 Ho, Volta, Ghana1,437 views
William was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at Ho University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
William is 41, worked as a bakery worker 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 Ho 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 $1,600 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Transport to Ho University Hospital: $130
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you, Papa. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Savar
Keep going, Papa. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Madrid.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
You're not alone, Papa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Ho.
Best of luck, Papa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
sending love. Get well soon. After 11 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
