Fighting kidney cancer: help Nora afford treatment in Toledo

Nora is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Nora was diagnosed with kidney cancer in July. The oncology team at Toledo University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Nora is 25, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Toledo 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 $10,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,000 • Scans and lab work: $790 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,050 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $560 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
