Ishrat's stomach cancer treatment fund

Ishrat was diagnosed with stomach cancer in June. The oncology team at Khulna University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Ishrat is 46, worked as a hairdresser until June, 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 Khulna University Hospital 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $900 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $470 • Scans and lab work: $70 • Transport to Khulna University Hospital: $60 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Household costs while unable to work: $240 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Karim
