Umar's multiple myeloma treatment fund

Umar was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in November. The oncology team at Islamabad Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Umar is 38, worked as a bakery worker until November, 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 Islamabad Regional Medical Center 5 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $650 • Scans and lab work: $95 • Transport to Islamabad Regional Medical Center: $110 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 • Household costs while unable to work: $170 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Maryam
