Hawassa
In August I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Hawassa University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 58, I worked as a primary school teacher until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Hawassa University Hospital 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,200 goes: • Scans and lab work: $75 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $940 • Transport to Hawassa University Hospital: $90 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
