Danielle's thyroid cancer treatment fund

Danielle is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Danielle was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in June. The oncology team at the London Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Danielle is 29, worked as a bank teller until June, 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 London Oncology Institute 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 $6,900 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $370 • Scans and lab work: $880 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,650 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Isla

Updates from Isla

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($4,950 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. We're at 34% thanks to 56 of you. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
