Zawadi was diagnosed with cervical cancer in September. The oncology team at Nairobi University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Zawadi is 44, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until September, 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 Nairobi 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,700 goes: • Transport to Nairobi University Hospital: $145 • Scans and lab work: $195 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,360 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Kariuki

  1. Small update. $1,056 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($256). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled.

    sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Nairobi.

    • shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Nairobi.

      • so sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours.

        • rooting for you, Kariuki. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

          • thinking of you and your family. Wishing Zawadi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
