Fighting colon cancer: help Liliana afford treatment in New York

Liliana was diagnosed with colon cancer in June. The oncology team at New York Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Liliana is 54, worked as a bakery worker 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 New York Cancer Centre 3 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 $9,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000 • Scans and lab work: $1,750 • Transport to New York Cancer Centre: $1,050 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390 • Household costs while unable to work: $860 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Claire
