Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Sophia afford treatment in Hamilton

Supporting Sophia through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Hamilton Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Hamilton
Sophia was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Hamilton Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Sophia is 50, 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 Hamilton Cancer Centre 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 $8,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,550 • Scans and lab work: $1,400 • Transport to Hamilton Cancer Centre: $860 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $480 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,710 Thank you so much. - Jordan
