Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Wendy afford treatment in Bakersfield

Supporting Wendy through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Bakersfield Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Bakersfield
Wendy was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at the Bakersfield Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Wendy is 27, worked as a tailor until June, 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 Bakersfield Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $7,050 goes: • Transport to the Bakersfield Oncology Institute: $780 • Scans and lab work: $1,250 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,020 Thanks for reading all this. - Teresa

        Best of luck, Teresa. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

          Sending love, Teresa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Nagpur so I could bring a meal

              So sorry you're going through this, Teresa. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you

                Take care. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless

                  Take care, Teresa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. All the best.
