Auma was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in June. The oncology team at Entebbe Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Auma is 31, worked as a taxi driver until June, 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 Entebbe Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $300 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125 • Scans and lab work: $90 • Transport to Entebbe Regional Medical Center: $85 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Atim
