Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Aria afford treatment in San Diego

10 rounds of treatment are planned at San Diego University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

San Diego
Aria was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in July. The oncology team at San Diego University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Aria is 39, worked as a bus conductor 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 San Diego University Hospital 5 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 $11,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,000 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Transport to San Diego University Hospital: $1,100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,650 Thanks for reading all this.
