Ariana was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at New Orleans Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Ariana is 29, worked as a bus conductor 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 New Orleans 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,950 goes: โ€ข Transport to New Orleans Cancer Centre: $570 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $460 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $1,700 โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $1,220 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Scarlett
