Standing with Bezawit: thyroid cancer treatment costs

Bezawit is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Bezawit was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in June. The oncology team at the Adama Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Bezawit is 44, worked as a farmer 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 the Adama 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,100 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $35 • Scans and lab work: $120 • Household costs while unable to work: $135 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $810 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • is there anything that isn't money that would help Bezawit?

    • Good luck, Mulugeta. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Casablanca but we're thinking of you.
