4 rounds of treatment are planned at Richards Bay Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Yusuf was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at Richards Bay Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Yusuf is 29, worked as a tailor until July, 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 Richards Bay Cancer Centre 4 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 $850 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $500 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200 • Transport to Richards Bay Cancer Centre: $150 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

    • Hope you get there. Thinking of Richards Bay

      • Thinking of you and your family, Jessica. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
