Fighting stomach cancer: help Lotte afford treatment in Rotterdam
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Rotterdam University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In July I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Rotterdam University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 39, I worked as a tailor until July, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Rotterdam University Hospital 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $6,450 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $250
• Scans and lab work: $1,150
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,000
• Transport to Rotterdam University Hospital: $1,050
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
