Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Madeline afford treatment in Sacramento

Madeline is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Madeline was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Sacramento Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Madeline is 25, worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 Sacramento Regional Medical Center 5 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 $2,400 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380 • Transport to Sacramento Regional Medical Center: $1,200 • Scans and lab work: $820 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Rylee

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,333 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 44% now ($1,058). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Quick update: $465 raised so far (19%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    Praying for you, Rylee. Wishing Madeline a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 22 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings

      keep going, Rylee. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Jeddah

        Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.

        • Felipe Jorge Santos

          Wishing you peace, Rylee. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

          • Kamol Kamol Panyarachun

            Sending good thoughts, Rylee. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
