Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Lauren afford treatment in Duluth

Lauren was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in January. The oncology team at Duluth Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Lauren is 56, worked as a nurse until January, 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 Duluth Regional Medical Center 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 $5,700 goes: • Transport to Duluth Regional Medical Center: $860 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $730 • Scans and lab work: $1,250 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,860 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Aria
