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

Mansoura
Nasser was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in June. The oncology team at Mansoura Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Nasser is 49, worked as a tailor 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 Mansoura 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $840 • Scans and lab work: $195 • Transport to Mansoura Regional Medical Center: $100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 • Household costs while unable to work: $260 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Malak

  1. Small update. $1,131 so far, I made the first payment toward transport to Mansoura Regional Medical Center.

  2. We're at 57% thanks to 20 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($301 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
