Nida's multiple myeloma treatment fund
Supporting Nida through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Rawalpindi University Hospital, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇵🇰 Pakistan2,326 views
In July I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Rawalpindi University Hospital has planned 8 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 35, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Rawalpindi University Hospital 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 $1,300 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $210
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $750
• Household costs while unable to work: $230
• Transport to Rawalpindi University Hospital: $110
With deep gratitude,
Nida

Keep going. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nida?
Thank you. If you're in Rawalpindi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
take care, Nida. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Gondar so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Amritsar.
sending strength, Nida. Your post was clear and honest.
