Nasser's prostate cancer treatment fund
Supporting Nasser through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Jeddah Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia2,014 views
Nasser was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April. The oncology team at Jeddah Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Nasser is 51, worked as a construction supervisor until April, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Jeddah Cancer Centre 3 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,150
• Transport to Jeddah Cancer Centre: $420
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $180
With deep gratitude,
Ghassan
