Sukkur
Kamran was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in March. The oncology team at Sukkur Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Kamran is 40, worked as a hairdresser until March, 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 Sukkur Cancer Centre 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 $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $970 • Scans and lab work: $105 • Transport to Sukkur Cancer Centre: $125 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Household costs while unable to work: $195 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Salman

          • Collins Hamisi KariukiQuestion

            Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kamran?

            • Salman Asad ButtOwnerAnswer

              Thank you. If you're in Sukkur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

          • Elif Yıldırım

            wishing Kamran a smooth procedure and a full recovery.

            • Comfort Abigail NkrumahQuestion

              Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kamran

              • Salman Asad ButtOwnerAnswer

                The list at the bottom is the whole picture. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the biggest at $970. Ask me anything else.
