Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Nevaeh afford treatment in Los Angeles

Nevaeh is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Los Angeles

Nevaeh was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at Los Angeles University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Nevaeh is 53, worked as a taxi driver until May, 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 Los Angeles University Hospital 2 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 $5,600 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $640 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,000 • Scans and lab work: $960 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Lydia

hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 13 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
