Shefali's colon cancer treatment fund
Shefali is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇧🇩 Cox's Bazar, Chattogram, Bangladesh1,030 views
Shefali was diagnosed with colon cancer in May. The oncology team at Cox's Bazar Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Shefali is 30, worked as a shop owner until May, 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 Cox's Bazar Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $950 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $390
• Scans and lab work: $180
• Transport to Cox's Bazar Regional Medical Center: $75
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $230
Thanks for being kind about this.

how is Shefali doing now?
Sending love, Mohammad. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Love from Bakersfield
Thinking of you, Mohammad. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Xalapa so I could bring a meal. Take care
You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Kingston this morning. God bless.
Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Konya donated after I showed her your page. Take care
wishing you the best, Mohammad. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Love from Campinas.
Sending good thoughts, Mohammad. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Mombasa
