Fighting multiple myeloma: help Natalia afford treatment in Allentown

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Allentown University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Allentown
Natalia was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in September. The oncology team at Allentown University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Natalia is 25, worked as a taxi driver 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 Allentown University Hospital 3 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 $2,200 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $310 • Transport to Allentown University Hospital: $1,050 • Household costs while unable to work: $840 I hope life is good to you. - María
