Fighting multiple myeloma: help Emilia afford treatment in Toronto
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Toronto University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Emilia was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at Toronto University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Emilia is 56, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Toronto University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $350
• Household costs while unable to work: $750
• Transport to Toronto University Hospital: $950
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Emilia?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
You're not alone, Grayson. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Love from Parramatta.
Thinking of you and your family, Grayson. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Sending strength, Grayson. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
