Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Brooklyn afford treatment in Los Angeles
Supporting Brooklyn through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to the Los Angeles Oncology Institute, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States5,391 views
Brooklyn was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in July. The oncology team at the Los Angeles Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Brooklyn is 48, worked as a hairdresser 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 the Los Angeles Oncology Institute 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 $7,000 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $730
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500
• Transport to the Los Angeles Oncology Institute: $770
Thank you for reading my story.
