Mulugeta's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Supporting Mulugeta through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to the Hawassa Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇪🇹 Hawassa, Sidama, Ethiopia1,880 views
In July I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at the Hawassa Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 26, I worked as a hairdresser 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 the Hawassa Oncology Institute 2 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 $1,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $500
• Scans and lab work: $130
• Transport to the Hawassa Oncology Institute: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
• Household costs while unable to work: $265
With deep gratitude,
Mulugeta

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mulugeta?
Thank you. If you're in Hawassa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Stay strong, Mulugeta. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 24 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out, Mulugeta. Get well soon. Blessings.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Bangkok this morning. God bless.
