Fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia: help Iryna afford treatment in Zaporizhzhia
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Zaporizhzhia Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇦 Zaporizhzhia, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine1,827 views
Iryna was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at Zaporizhzhia Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Iryna is 40, worked as a construction supervisor until June, 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 Zaporizhzhia Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $850 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $290
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $340
• Transport to Zaporizhzhia Regional Medical Center: $145
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
