Cynthia's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Cynthia is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
π¨π¦ Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada725 views
Cynthia was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in March. The oncology team at Lethbridge Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Cynthia is 44, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until March, 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 Lethbridge Regional Medical Center 5 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 $9,100 goes:
β’ Transport to Lethbridge Regional Medical Center: $480
β’ Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390
β’ Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250
β’ Scans and lab work: $980
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong, Benjamin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
