Njoroge's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Njoroge is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya3,529 views
Njoroge was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Nairobi Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Njoroge is 55, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Nairobi Regional Medical Center 4 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,450
• Scans and lab work: $140
• Transport to Nairobi Regional Medical Center: $170
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
• Household costs while unable to work: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Lilian. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Kediri donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
hope it all works out, Lilian. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Thinking of you, Lilian. Get well soon.
Best of luck. Get well soon. Thinking of Nairobi
you're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Wishing you peace, Lilian. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Best of luck, Lilian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Nairobi
