Fighting colon cancer: help Quinn 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, California, United States5,693 views
Quinn was diagnosed with colon cancer in October. The oncology team at San Diego University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Quinn is 52, worked as a bakery worker until October, 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $13,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,000
• Scans and lab work: $1,300
• Transport to San Diego University Hospital: $1,350
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $790
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,160
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of San Diego
Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Jacksonville so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Praying for you, Michael. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Dwarka this morning.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Sydney donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Epe so I could bring a meal. Take care.
keep going, Michael. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Córdoba.
