Omondi's multiple myeloma treatment fund
Supporting Omondi through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Mombasa Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya1,265 views
In June I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Mombasa Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 54, I worked as a shop owner until June, 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 Mombasa Regional Medical Center 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $860
• Scans and lab work: $150
• Transport to Mombasa Regional Medical Center: $85
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Household costs while unable to work: $390
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Bahir Dar
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. Love from Quezon City.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Ikeja!
Stay strong, Omondi. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
