Standing with Rasha: colon cancer treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Alexandria University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇪🇬 Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt787 views
Rasha was diagnosed with colon cancer in June. The oncology team at Alexandria University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Rasha is 32, worked as a primary school teacher until June, 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 Alexandria University Hospital 3 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 $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Transport to Alexandria University Hospital: $150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $210
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Ghassan. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Wishing you the best, Ghassan. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Epe.
