Laval
Claire was diagnosed with colon cancer in January. The oncology team at Laval University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Claire is 39, worked as a primary school teacher until January, 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 Laval University Hospital 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,600 goes: โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $710 โ€ข Transport to Laval University Hospital: $640 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Charles

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($110 in total) the plan for transport to Laval University Hospital is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 1% funded and the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled.
