Standing with Mutua: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Naivasha Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Naivasha
Mutua was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at Naivasha Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Mutua is 49, worked as a bus conductor until June, 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 Naivasha Regional Medical Center 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 $2,050 goes: • Transport to Naivasha Regional Medical Center: $170 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350 • Scans and lab work: $155 • Household costs while unable to work: $375 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

        Hope the doctors have good news. After 11 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Naivasha.

          Hope it all works out, Hellen. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 11 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Brooklyn.
