Kamal's thyroid cancer treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Negombo University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
Anywhere in the world414 views
Kamal was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at Negombo University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Kamal is 43, worked as a farmer until July, 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 Negombo University Hospital 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Household costs while unable to work: $140
• Transport to Negombo University Hospital: $80
With deep gratitude,
Udara

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Dnipro.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Praying for you, Udara. Get well soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Negombo
sending love, Udara. Hope the doctors have good news
