Standing with Fiifi: colon cancer treatment costs

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

Madina
Fiifi was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at the Madina Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Fiifi is 27, worked as a construction supervisor 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 the Madina 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300 • Scans and lab work: $180 • Transport to the Madina Oncology Institute: $65 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80 • Household costs while unable to work: $175 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Daniel

Updates from Daniel

  1. Thank you all. We're at 74% now ($1,328). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($740 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
