Emma's a rare sarcoma treatment fund

Emma is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Emma was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in July. The oncology team at Nashville Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Emma is 55, worked as a shop owner until July, 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 Nashville 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $7,600 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $590 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,650 • Transport to Nashville Regional Medical Center: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $1,260 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Noah
