Story
My parents are both retired now and live in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Their monthly income/pension is $80.00 a month.
Recently, my Mum (who is 65years old) became unwell, and together, we somehow managed to pay for her to see a GP to get some tests done. This then led to her being referred to a surgeon who operated on her to remove a polyp from her abdomen. (A biopsy was carried out on the polyp).
The Surgeon referred her to an Oncologist. More tests were carried out and following the biopsy results, my Mum now needs CHEMOTHERAPY.
We desperately and urgently need help with raising the funds needed to pay for her chemotherapy treatment.
The total cost is about US$9608.00: (about £7067.64).
My family and I are so grateful for any funds people can give towards saving my Mum's life. She is an amazing woman whose love and kindness has inspired so many people over the years.
Thank you for your help and support everyone.

6 years agoHello all. Mum will be getting her 4th session of chemo this month. However, with £0.00 funds I'm not sure how this is going to happen. In Zimbabwe, no money means no treatment. This is breaking my heart. She needs about £3000 to complete chemo. Please remember her in your busy lives and continue to donate. Stay with us till the end of her journey. We can't do it without you. Thank you.

6 years agoHi all. Just an update. Mum had her 2nd session of chemo on Wednesday. This is all thanks to your kind donations. She is doing her best to remain positive about everything, we're so proud of her, and Dad who's taking such good care of her. There is £915.00 left from the past donations; that's enough for just the 3rd session. Please continue to pray and donate what you can so that she continues to get the treatment she desperately needs. (5 more sessions to go). Thank you.

6 years agoHi everyone. Just a quick update. Mum's in her 1st 3week break before her 2nd chemo treatment. She's doing OK & is grateful to all who have helped her reach this point. Donations have been received through the JustGiving website, and there have also been cash donations from friends & family. Therefore, the total raised so far is £1 690.27. WELL DONE EVERYONE. THAT'S SO AMAZING. THANK YOU!! However, we still need to raise about £5 309.73. Please please continue to support my Mum. Together we can help her to receive the treatment she needs.
