Sharon was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Wellington University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Sharon is 47, worked as a farmer 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 Wellington University Hospital 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $7,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750 • Transport to Wellington University Hospital: $510 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,190 Glad we found this place.
