Samina's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund
Supporting Samina through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Karachi University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇵🇰 Pakistan1,390 views
In July I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Karachi University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 31, I worked as a shop owner until July, 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 Karachi University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Transport to Karachi University Hospital: $85
• Household costs while unable to work: $165
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $950
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family, Samina. Shared it with a few friends
how is Samina doing now?
sending good thoughts, Samina. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
