Nokuthula's thyroid cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Ekurhuleni Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Nokuthula was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Ekurhuleni Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Nokuthula is 52, worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 Ekurhuleni Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• Transport to Ekurhuleni Regional Medical Center: $250
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Household costs while unable to work: $415
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
