Hello everyone.

 

My name is Jody Harris, I am a 46-year-old guy, living in Cape Town, South Africa. I am a father to an amazing little 8yr old boy.

 

For most of my life, I have worked full-time as an Emergency Care Provider and as a volunteer in the same field, dedicating my life the care of others, mostly strangers.

 

On 11 September 2023 (9/11, how is that) A large tumour was discovered in my brain, and on 19 September 2023, I had brain surgery to remove it, and it was discovered to be stage 4 cancer. After a stay in hospital and rehab (I had extreme speech difficulties and a very weak right hand and arm) I was sent home with a pharmacy of medications, excluding the chemo drugs.

 

Today, 19 October 2023, I had my first introductory visit at the Oncology Care Centre and was told that I will be having 6 months of oral chemotherapy and 30 sessions of specialized radiotherapy.

Other than extreme fear, I face a huge issue - that is transport from my house to the Oncology Care Centre and then back again (sessions are roughly 30min each) every Monday to Friday

 

I do own a vehicle, but may not drive it, especially after having my brain zapped.

 

I have looked to Uber, but that would cost me roughly R140 one way, and in excess of R6500 or so, for the 6 weeks, which I cannot afford. 

 

For most of you who know me, I hate to ask for help, I despise it.

 

However, I sit now in a literal life-or-death situation, where I need to put my pride in my pocket and ask for help. I know many people try scam others and I am willing to prove all of this, to settle your mind !!!

 

 

What am I asking? Well, one or both:

1) Financial donations in any amount so that a can use Uber

2) A lift from my house to Panorama MediClinic (around 15km), and someone to wait for 30 minutes and bring me home (I am willing to help with some fuel)
