Maina's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

Maina is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In July I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Kampala Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 31, I worked as a nurse until July, 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 Kampala Regional Medical Center 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 $1,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $760 • Scans and lab work: $110 • Transport to Kampala Regional Medical Center: $120 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Household costs while unable to work: $255 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
