Standing with Mariam: colon cancer treatment costs
Supporting Mariam through colon cancer: medication, transport to Marseille Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇫🇷 Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France1,536 views
Mariam was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Marseille Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Mariam is 31, worked as a construction supervisor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Marseille Regional Medical Center 5 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $6,800 goes:
• Transport to Marseille Regional Medical Center: $860
• Scans and lab work: $1,450
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $580
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,910
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Kadiatou
Good news. Because of your gifts ($692 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 8% funded and I made the first payment toward transport to Marseille Regional Medical Center.

hang in there, Kadiatou. Wishing Mariam a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Marseille.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Sending love, Kadiatou. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together
