Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Kendall afford treatment in Sheffield
Supporting Kendall through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to the Sheffield Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇬🇧 S10 1DW, Sheffield, England, United Kingdom1,274 views
Kendall was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at the Sheffield Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Kendall is 47, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Sheffield Oncology Institute 2 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 $3,400 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,400
• Transport to the Sheffield Oncology Institute: $480
• Scans and lab work: $1,520
With deep gratitude,
Derek

3% there. I made the first payment toward transport to the Sheffield Oncology Institute. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
