Jemima's stomach cancer treatment fund
Jemima is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇭 Tarkwa, Western, Ghana1,010 views
Jemima was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at the Tarkwa Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Jemima is 37, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 the Tarkwa Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $600 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70
• Scans and lab work: $100
• Transport to the Tarkwa Oncology Institute: $115
• Household costs while unable to work: $315
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to San Nicolás de los Garza so I could bring a meal. All the best.
