Last month, we reported that Nevra’s condition was worsening and she was jaundiced. We advocated for her and was able to get her doctor to order an evaluation of her liver. Her liver is damaged. She tested positive for Hepatitis A, from which she is currently recovering. Your donations helped to cover the costs for the testing.

This month, in addition to Nevra’s ongoing monthly costs, such as

-Telehealth complex illness specialist follow up appointments $130 each about 1 per month
-Assistants on the ground in Karachi and abroad: $300 per month
-Therapy: Approximately $40 per session. Nevra has 2-3 sessions a week which is $80 or $120 and $320 per month
(* depending on how often Nevra can do sessions)
-Food: Approx $407/mo
-Supplements: varies but $200 per month
-Caregiver: $10 per shower/hygiene services
– Local appointments & hygiene products- $125

That’s a total of $1400 per month to manage Nevra’s care and keep her alive. Remember, just because Nevra’s campaign has made $9000 doesn’t mean the money ia still there. It goes to her continuous care at $1400/month.

Nevra is without central heat, and the weather has been unseasonably cold in her area of Pakistan. She needs to purchase warmer clothes to stay warm, so your donations will help to clothe her.

Members of Nevra’s support team are having to step down for personal health reasons, so Nevra is in need of a patient advocate as well as a remote female assistant to help her stay organized and help with running her campaign. If you can help or know someone who can, please contact us.
