Savar
Sohel was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at the Savar Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Sohel is 36, worked as a bank teller until July, 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 the Savar 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $350 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Household costs while unable to work: $160 • Transport to the Savar Oncology Institute: $120 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Rima
