Fighting multiple myeloma: help Delilah afford treatment in Yonkers
Supporting Delilah through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Yonkers Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇺🇸 United States1,895 views
Delilah was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in April. The oncology team at Yonkers Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Delilah is 56, worked as a bus conductor until April, 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 Yonkers Regional Medical Center 4 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 $3,750 goes:
• Transport to Yonkers Regional Medical Center: $670
• Scans and lab work: $1,350
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $950
• Household costs while unable to work: $780
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

I hope things turn around soon. After 11 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
Thanks for sharing this, Heather. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Wishing Delilah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Incheon.
