Johan's stomach cancer treatment fund
Supporting Johan through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Durban Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇿🇦 4000, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa3,070 views
Johan was diagnosed with stomach cancer in November. The oncology team at Durban Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Johan is 26, worked as a hairdresser until November, 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 Durban Regional Medical Center 5 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $155
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,400
• Transport to Durban Regional Medical Center: $245
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Durban
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 28 people at work.
How is Johan doing now?
Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Moscow so I could bring a meal.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. Love from Odesa.
Stay strong, Craig. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
So sorry you're going through this, Craig. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
