Fighting kidney cancer: help Theresa afford treatment in Berlin
Supporting Theresa through kidney cancer: medication, transport to the Berlin Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇩🇪 Germany1,425 views
Theresa was diagnosed with kidney cancer in July. The oncology team at the Berlin Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Theresa is 27, worked as a hairdresser 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 the Berlin Oncology Institute 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 $7,600 goes:
• Transport to the Berlin Oncology Institute: $900
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,310
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
Updates from Rainer
Quick update: $863 raised so far (11%). I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 6% funded and the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled.

Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Berlin.
Hope things get better soon, Rainer. Wishing Theresa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Rainer. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Wishing Theresa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Good luck, Rainer. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Berlin.
hope things get better soon, Rainer. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Fort Collins so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there, Rainer. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Berlin.
You're not alone, Rainer. Wishing Theresa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Chattogram.
