Nafula's colon cancer treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Embakasi University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Nafula was diagnosed with colon cancer in May. The oncology team at Embakasi University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Nafula is 49, worked as a primary school teacher until May, 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 Embakasi University Hospital 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 $500 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $250
• Scans and lab work: $160
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
