Juma's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund

Juma is facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In February I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at the Arusha Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in April. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 24, I worked as a bus conductor until February, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Arusha Oncology Institute 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $650 • Scans and lab work: $260 • Transport to the Arusha Oncology Institute: $60 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115 • Household costs while unable to work: $115 Thanks for reading all this. - Juma
