Leila's stomach cancer treatment fund

Leila is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Leila was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at Giza Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Leila is 30, worked as a bank teller until July, 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 Giza 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,050 goes: • Scans and lab work: $190 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $710 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Saeed

Updates from Saeed

  1. Thank you all. We're at 60% now ($625). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled.
