Fighting multiple myeloma: help Gabriella afford treatment in Milan
Gabriella is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In August I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Milan Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 40, I worked as a nurse until August, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Milan Regional Medical Center 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260
• Scans and lab work: $450
• Transport to Milan Regional Medical Center: $740
With deep gratitude,
Gabriella

Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from La Plata.
Hope things get better soon, Gabriella. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Hang in there, Gabriella. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Hope things get better soon, Gabriella. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Khon Kaen
