Selamawit's cervical cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Gondar University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇪🇹 Gondar, Amhara, Ethiopia685 views
Selamawit was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Gondar University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Selamawit is 36, worked as a shop owner until August, 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 Gondar University Hospital 4 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 $1,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $450
• Scans and lab work: $185
• Transport to Gondar University Hospital: $90
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Household costs while unable to work: $260
Thank you so much.

keep going, Konjit. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Phoenix
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Love from Dnipro.
Take care, Konjit. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Howrah.
You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
