Tareq's prostate cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Dhaka University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇧🇩 Bangladesh790 views
Tareq was diagnosed with prostate cancer in September. The oncology team at Dhaka University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Tareq is 43, worked as a primary school teacher until September, 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 Dhaka University Hospital 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $400 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $130
• Transport to Dhaka University Hospital: $100
• Household costs while unable to work: $170
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Hossain. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Hope it all works out, Hossain. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.

Thinking of you and your family, Hossain. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Dhaka.

hope it all works out, Hossain. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Keep going, Hossain. Looking forward to the next update. After 16 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
