Montréal

Lata was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April. The oncology team at the Montréal Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Lata is 46, worked as a bank teller until April, 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 Montréal 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 $3,800 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,500 • Transport to the Montréal Oncology Institute: $790 • Scans and lab work: $1,510 Thanks for reading all this.
