Sipho's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Supporting Sipho through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Johannesburg Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa1,010 views
Sipho was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at the Johannesburg Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Sipho is 45, worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 Johannesburg Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $155
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,650
• Household costs while unable to work: $495
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
