Fighting multiple myeloma: help Lily afford treatment in Sacramento
Supporting Lily through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to the Sacramento Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States1,225 views
Lily was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at the Sacramento Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Lily is 36, worked as a shop owner 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 Sacramento 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Transport to the Sacramento Oncology Institute: $950
• Scans and lab work: $830
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $370
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, Natalia. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Sending good thoughts, Natalia. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Sacramento.
sending strength, Natalia. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
