Bristol

Kylie was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in September. The oncology team at Bristol Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Kylie is 30, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until September, 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 Bristol Cancer Centre 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,350 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,500 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $590 • Scans and lab work: $1,260 Thanks for reading all this. - Nicholas

Updates from Nicholas

Update from Bristol: I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work. We're at 2% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($198 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
