Emilia's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Munich University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Emilia was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in June. The oncology team at Munich University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Emilia is 26, worked as a farmer 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 Munich University Hospital 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 $7,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,900
• Scans and lab work: $1,400
• Transport to Munich University Hospital: $340
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $250
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,110
If you're reading this, thank you.
