Standing with Tsion: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
Tsion is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇪🇹 Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia912 views
Tsion was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in April. The oncology team at Adama Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Tsion is 43, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Adama Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $160
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $750
• Household costs while unable to work: $240
I hope life is good to you.

Shared this with my family. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
You're not alone, Haile. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Mumbai
