Standing with Karanja: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
Supporting Karanja through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Gulu University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.

In June I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Gulu University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 26, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until June, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Gulu University Hospital 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000
Thank you so much.
