Fighting colon cancer: help Savannah afford treatment in London
Savannah is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom3,660 views
Savannah was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at London University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Savannah is 28, worked as a hairdresser 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 London 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 $9,350 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $310
• Scans and lab work: $1,300
• Household costs while unable to work: $760
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,980

thinking of you. Get well soon. Love from Veracruz
Hope things get better soon, Kai. This could happen to any of us. After 22 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings!
Good luck, Kai. Hope you get there. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Kai. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
