Liya's a rare sarcoma treatment fund

Liya was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in July. The oncology team at the Hawassa Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Liya is 49, 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 the Hawassa Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,200 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 • Transport to the Hawassa Oncology Institute: $135 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $990 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
