Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Kendall afford treatment in Orlando
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Orlando University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 Orlando, Florida, United States1,554 views
Kendall was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Orlando University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Kendall is 38, worked as a tailor until August, 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 Orlando 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 $6,450 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,500
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $560
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,800
• Scans and lab work: $590
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Arianna. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Orlando.
shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Los Angeles.
