Abigail's stomach cancer treatment fund
Abigail is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇳🇿 Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand3,505 views
In March I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Auckland Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 40, I worked as a nurse until March, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Auckland Regional Medical Center 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $9,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500
• Scans and lab work: $690
• Transport to Auckland Regional Medical Center: $820
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $420
• Household costs while unable to work: $670
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
