Gianna was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at the Aberdeen Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Gianna is 45, worked as a construction supervisor 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 the Aberdeen 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,200 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,060 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
