Standing with Kwesi: cervical cancer treatment costs

Supporting Kwesi through cervical cancer: medication, transport to Accra Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

Accra
Kwesi was diagnosed with cervical cancer in April. The oncology team at Accra Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Kwesi is 47, worked as a farmer until April, 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 Accra 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,900 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,450 • Scans and lab work: $130 • Transport to Accra Cancer Centre: $85 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 • Household costs while unable to work: $145 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Nathaniel

  2. Thank you all. We're at 69% now ($1,315). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  3. Update from Accra: we've started the first stage. We're at 19% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
