Emily's colon cancer treatment fund
Supporting Emily through colon cancer: medication, transport to Houston Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇺🇸 Houston, Texas, United States5,093 views
Emily was diagnosed with colon cancer in March. The oncology team at Houston Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Emily is 33, worked as a tailor 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 Houston Regional Medical Center 3 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 $4,400 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,150
• Scans and lab work: $1,550
• Transport to Houston Regional Medical Center: $700
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this, Dylan. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Houston.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Houston.
Sending love, Dylan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
