Standing with Biniam: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Biniam is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world1,094 views
Biniam was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Adama University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Biniam is 36, worked as a shop owner 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 Adama University Hospital 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 $1,400 goes:
• Transport to Adama University Hospital: $120
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $890
• Household costs while unable to work: $300
Thank you so much.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Biniam?
Thank you. If you're in Adama I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Keep going, Dagmawit. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Adama.
Rooting for you, Dagmawit. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.
Stay strong, Dagmawit. This could happen to any of us. All the best
How is Biniam doing now?
thinking of you and your family, Dagmawit. Wishing Biniam a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update
Wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Adama
Rooting for you, Dagmawit. Hope this works out for you
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the doctors have good news. After 7 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Rooting for you. Get well soon. God bless
hope it all works out, Dagmawit. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Winnipeg so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength, Dagmawit. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Dagmawit. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Adama
