Kamau's multiple myeloma treatment fund
Supporting Kamau through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Nairobi University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇰🇪 Kenya2,900 views
Kamau was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in November. The oncology team at Nairobi University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Kamau is 41, worked as a bus conductor 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 Nairobi University Hospital 2 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Transport to Nairobi University Hospital: $185
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Household costs while unable to work: $190
I hope life is good to you.

Take care. Get well soon. Greetings from Chiang Mai.
Best of luck, Rose. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 3 people at work. Take care
Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
