Fighting stomach cancer: help Marisol afford treatment in Cincinnati

Marisol is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Cincinnati
In October I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Cincinnati Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 37, I worked as a hairdresser until October, 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 Cincinnati Cancer Centre 4 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 $13,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,500 • Scans and lab work: $1,300 • Transport to Cincinnati Cancer Centre: $920 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $560 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,120 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Hope it all works out, Marisol. Hope you get there. After 29 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

      So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Marisol a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together.

        Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page. Love from Pune.
