Tizita's cervical cancer treatment fund
Supporting Tizita through cervical cancer: medication, transport to Hawassa University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇪🇹 Hawassa, Sidama, Ethiopia1,167 views
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.

Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Moscow.
best of luck. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. After 22 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care
Sending strength, Tizita. Shared it with a few friends.
