Standing with Mwanaisha: cervical cancer treatment costs
Supporting Mwanaisha through cervical cancer: medication, transport to the Kinondoni Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,831 views
Mwanaisha was diagnosed with cervical cancer in April. The oncology team at the Kinondoni Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Mwanaisha is 49, worked as a taxi driver until April, 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 the Kinondoni Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $540
• Household costs while unable to work: $125
• Transport to the Kinondoni Oncology Institute: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $35

Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Kinondoni!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mwanaisha?
Thank you. If you're in Kinondoni I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. After 13 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Kinondoni.
stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Nsukka donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
