Victor's multiple myeloma treatment fund

Victor is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Victor was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at the Mbarara Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Victor is 24, worked as a tailor until July, 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 the Mbarara Oncology Institute 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 $1,050 goes: • Scans and lab work: $190 • Transport to the Mbarara Oncology Institute: $95 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $765 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Adhiambo
