Hossain's kidney cancer treatment fund
Hossain is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇧🇩 Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh906 views
Hossain was diagnosed with kidney cancer in July. The oncology team at the Savar Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Hossain is 55, worked as a hairdresser 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 the Savar Oncology Institute 3 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 $1,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $740
• Scans and lab work: $160
• Transport to the Savar Oncology Institute: $55
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $235
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hossain.
It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $740, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Narayanganj.
Thanks for sharing this, Sumaiya. Looking forward to the next update.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hossain?
Thank you. If you're in Savar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless!
You're not alone, Sumaiya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Buenos Aires.
