Fighting kidney cancer: help Carmen afford treatment in Timișoara

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Timișoara University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Timișoara
Carmen was diagnosed with kidney cancer in June. The oncology team at Timișoara University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Carmen is 35, worked as a bakery worker until June, 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 Timișoara 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,050 goes: • Transport to Timișoara University Hospital: $175 • Scans and lab work: $270 • Household costs while unable to work: $605 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Maria
