Fighting prostate cancer: help Zoey afford treatment in Fresno
Zoey is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 California, United States7,939 views
Zoey was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at the Fresno Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Zoey is 52, worked as a taxi driver 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 Fresno 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $8,800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,700
• Scans and lab work: $1,400
• Transport to the Fresno Oncology Institute: $990
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $710
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,000
Thanks for being kind about this.

wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless
You're not alone, Emma. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
