Standing with Victoria: stomach cancer treatment costs
Victoria is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇭 GA-065-5878, Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana2,986 views
Victoria was diagnosed with stomach cancer in June. The oncology team at Accra Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Victoria is 48, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Accra 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 $1,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $940
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
• Scans and lab work: $210
• Household costs while unable to work: $235
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Diana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Accra.
Good luck, Diana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Ciudad de México donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
You're not alone. Wishing Victoria a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning. Thinking of Accra
Hang in there, Diana. Shared this with my family. After 27 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. After 23 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
