Rawalpindi

Saima was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in February. The oncology team at Rawalpindi University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Saima is 36, worked as a shop owner until February, 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 Rawalpindi University Hospital 5 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 $450 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 • Household costs while unable to work: $165 • Transport to Rawalpindi University Hospital: $60 • Scans and lab work: $135 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Khalid
