Cairo
Hussein was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in October. The oncology team at Cairo University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Hussein is 34, worked as a bus conductor until October, 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 Cairo University Hospital 3 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 $1,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $880 • Household costs while unable to work: $190 • Scans and lab work: $280 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Mona

  2. Update from Cairo: the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled. We're at 26% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
