Standing with Rima: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

Supporting Rima through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Mecca Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Mecca
Rima was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in April. The oncology team at the Mecca Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Rima is 48, worked as a farmer 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 Mecca Oncology Institute 4 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 $1,700 goes: • Transport to the Mecca Oncology Institute: $720 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500 • Scans and lab work: $480 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Nabil

  1. Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($312). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($73 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

                Thinking of you and your family, Nabil. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 26 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
