Brescia
In August I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at the Brescia Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 27, I worked as a farmer until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Brescia Oncology Institute 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $6,000 goes: • Transport to the Brescia Oncology Institute: $380 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $310 • Household costs while unable to work: $610 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,700 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Carla

  • Sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.

    • Praying for you, Carla. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Love from Saint Paul.
