Joyce's prostate cancer treatment fund
Supporting Joyce through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Dar es Salaam University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇹🇿 Tanzania1,746 views
Joyce was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April. The oncology team at Dar es Salaam University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Joyce is 39, worked as a tailor until April, 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 Dar es Salaam University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Scans and lab work: $90
• Transport to Dar es Salaam University Hospital: $90
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Household costs while unable to work: $305
Thanks for being kind about this.
