Abigail's a rare sarcoma treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at the San Francisco Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Abigail was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in February. The oncology team at the San Francisco Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Abigail is 47, worked as a farmer until February, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the San Francisco Oncology Institute 4 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $13,750 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,750
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $780
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,970
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing you the best, Shirley. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Calamba.
Thinking of you, Shirley. Hope this works out for you.
Stay strong, Shirley. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings
Praying for you, Shirley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Sending love. Wishing Abigail a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
