Standing with Zanele: stomach cancer treatment costs
Supporting Zanele through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Johannesburg University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,068 views
Zanele was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at Johannesburg University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Zanele is 50, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Johannesburg 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,950
• Transport to Johannesburg University Hospital: $250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Zanele?
Stay strong, Shanice. This could happen to any of us. After 17 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Feira de Santana
Stay strong, Shanice. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Accra donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Accra
