Accra
In June I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Accra Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 56, I worked as a primary school teacher 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 Accra Regional Medical Center 5 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 $800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $490 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80 • Scans and lab work: $100 • Transport to Accra Regional Medical Center: $130 If you're reading this, thank you.
