Standing with Taghreed: cervical cancer treatment costs

Taghreed was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June. The oncology team at Giza University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Taghreed is 33, worked as a bakery worker 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 Giza University Hospital 2 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $500 goes: • Transport to Giza University Hospital: $145 • Scans and lab work: $110 • Household costs while unable to work: $245 Every share and every dollar helps.
