Shoaib's thyroid cancer treatment fund

Supporting Shoaib through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to the Rawalpindi Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.

Rawalpindi
Shoaib was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at the Rawalpindi Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Shoaib is 39, worked as a construction supervisor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Rawalpindi Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $450 goes: • Scans and lab work: $160 • Transport to the Rawalpindi Oncology Institute: $135 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Household costs while unable to work: $95 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Nazia

Updates from Nazia

  1. Small update. $229 so far, I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Quick update: $81 raised so far (18%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($71 in total) I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Praying for you, Nazia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.
