Standing with Joy: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

Joy is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Savar
Joy was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at Savar University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Joy is 57, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until May, 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 Savar 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $850 goes: • Transport to Savar University Hospital: $65 • Household costs while unable to work: $280 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $470 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $35 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Zahid
