Standing with Kioko: thyroid cancer treatment costs

Kioko was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in March. The oncology team at Kampala Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Kioko is 44, worked as a bank teller 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 Kampala Cancer Centre 2 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 $1,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $670 • Scans and lab work: $180 • Transport to Kampala Cancer Centre: $150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Household costs while unable to work: $140 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Beatrice
