Fighting kidney cancer: help Evelyn afford treatment in Newcastle upon Tyne
Supporting Evelyn through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Newcastle upon Tyne University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom5,047 views
Evelyn was diagnosed with kidney cancer in May. The oncology team at Newcastle upon Tyne University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Evelyn is 53, worked as a bank teller 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 Newcastle upon Tyne 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 $5,300 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $790
• Scans and lab work: $1,250
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,260
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Josiah
Thank you all. We're at 46% now ($2,448). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work.
