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.
🇺🇸 United States1,947 views
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.

wishing Natalia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 20 people at work
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Stellenbosch so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, María. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Saint Petersburg
Get well soon. Love from Medellín.
so sorry you're going through this, María. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.
Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Denver.
