Standing with Aisha: stomach cancer treatment costs

Aisha was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at the Entebbe Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Aisha is 29, worked as a taxi driver 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 the Entebbe Oncology Institute 3 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 $1,450 goes: • Scans and lab work: $230 • Transport to the Entebbe Oncology Institute: $130 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
