Standing with Eman: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
Eman is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world1,243 views
Eman was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in January. The oncology team at Rawalpindi Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Eman is 53, worked as a bakery worker until January, 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 Rawalpindi Cancer Centre 5 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 $1,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $400
• Scans and lab work: $115
• Transport to Rawalpindi Cancer Centre: $85
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
• Household costs while unable to work: $290
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
