Help Natasha Fight Cancer and Achieve Her Dream

Natasha Chikosha is a 24-year-old final-year medical student at the University of Zimbabwe who is currently fighting a serious form of cancer called ALK-negative Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma.

Natasha has spent years working tirelessly toward her dream of becoming a doctor so she could dedicate her life to caring for others. Instead of preparing for graduation and beginning her medical career, she is now facing the fight of her life.

Her doctors have confirmed that her treatment can be curative, giving the family hope. However, Brentuximab Vedotin — one of the most important medications in her chemotherapy — is extremely expensive and currently beyond what they can afford.

The family is doing everything they can to support Natasha through chemotherapy, hospital visits, medication costs, transport and ongoing care. Cancer treatment in Zimbabwe is financially overwhelming.

Natasha is kind, hardworking, resilient and deeply loved. Even during this difficult journey, she continues to smile and hold onto hope.
