Simiyu's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Supporting Simiyu through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Arusha University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇹🇿 Tanzania1,659 views
Simiyu was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Arusha University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Simiyu is 50, worked as a tailor 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 Arusha University Hospital 2 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $600 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70
• Household costs while unable to work: $210
• Scans and lab work: $165
• Transport to Arusha University Hospital: $155
Thanks for reading all this.

How is Simiyu doing now?
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Sukkur.
Sending strength. Wishing Simiyu a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 26 people at work.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Simiyu.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is the biggest at $70. It helps to be asked.
Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Granada.
Take care, Imani. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up.
So sorry you're going through this, Imani. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Arusha.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Love from Stockholm.
hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you the best, Imani. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
