Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Autumn afford treatment in Vancouver
Supporting Autumn through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Vancouver Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇺🇸 United States4,092 views
Autumn was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at Vancouver Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Autumn is 25, worked as a bank teller until August, 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 Vancouver Cancer Centre 4 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 $8,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000
• Scans and lab work: $770
• Transport to Vancouver Cancer Centre: $670
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $640
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,770
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
