Standing with Nadia: thyroid cancer treatment costs

Nadia is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

🇲🇦 Casablanca-Settat, Morocco929 views

Casablanca
Nadia was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Casablanca Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Nadia is 34, worked as a taxi driver 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 Casablanca 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $680 • Transport to Casablanca Cancer Centre: $150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125 • Scans and lab work: $195 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Ali

Updates from Ali

  1. Small update. $375 so far, the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 28% now ($325). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward transport to Casablanca Cancer Centre.

  3. Update from Casablanca: the plan for transport to Casablanca Cancer Centre is now scheduled. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
