Standing with Faisal: kidney cancer treatment costs
Faisal is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world487 views
Faisal was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Aswan Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Faisal is 34, 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 Aswan Regional Medical Center 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 $550 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $220
• Scans and lab work: $150
• Transport to Aswan Regional Medical Center: $180
I hope life is good to you.

Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 32 people at work. Love from Makati.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 17 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Jerusalem
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Surat
Keep going, Ziad. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Aswan.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Kampala
Praying for you, Ziad. Hope the doctors have good news
thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Aswan
Best of luck, Ziad. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Cambridge
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Gazipur but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Gazipur.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Mangaluru donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Aswan
