Standing with Samuel: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Supporting Samuel through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Addis Ababa Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia1,730 views
Samuel was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in April. The oncology team at Addis Ababa Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Samuel is 33, worked as a shop owner until April, 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 Addis Ababa 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 $450 goes:
• Transport to Addis Ababa Regional Medical Center: $80
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Scans and lab work: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $220
With deep gratitude,
Dereje

Is transport to Addis Ababa Regional Medical Center the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Transport to Addis Ababa Regional Medical Center is $80 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Addis Ababa
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Addis Ababa.
