Rahima's a rare sarcoma treatment fund

Rahima is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Rahima was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in July. The oncology team at Chattogram University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Rahima is 55, worked as a tailor until July, 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 Chattogram University Hospital 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $950 goes: • Transport to Chattogram University Hospital: $105 • Scans and lab work: $165 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $680 Thank you for reading my story. - Tareq
