Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Hailey afford treatment in Rochester
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Rochester Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 Rochester, New York, United States7,187 views
In June I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Rochester Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 52, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until June, 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 Rochester Cancer Centre 4 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 $7,550 goes:
• Transport to Rochester Cancer Centre: $400
• Scans and lab work: $1,400
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

so sorry you're going through this, Hailey. Hope this works out for you.
Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Epe this morning. Blessings
Stay strong, Hailey. Shared it with a few friends.
Sending good thoughts, Hailey. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Rochester
is transport to Rochester Cancer Centre the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to Rochester Cancer Centre comes first ($400) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Praying for you. Get well soon. Don't give up. Love from Mumbai
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 16 people at work!
Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. After 12 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there, Hailey. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 29 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Mumbai.

Hang in there, Hailey. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Berlin but we're thinking of you
Take care, Hailey. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Rochester.
