6 rounds of treatment are planned at Takoradi Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Henry was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June. The oncology team at Takoradi Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Henry is 57, worked as a tailor until June, 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 Takoradi Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $770
• Scans and lab work: $200
• Transport to Takoradi Regional Medical Center: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
• Household costs while unable to work: $175
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing Henry a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you, Naana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope it all works out, Naana. This could happen to any of us
