Fighting stomach cancer: help Mathilda afford treatment in Regensburg
Mathilda is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world6,796 views
Mathilda was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at the Regensburg Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Mathilda is 26, worked as a hairdresser 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 the Regensburg Oncology Institute 4 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $10,850 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $610
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,850
• Transport to the Regensburg Oncology Institute: $640
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Mathilda?
Thank you. If you're in Regensburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
rooting for you, Florian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Florian. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Regensburg.
Thinking of you and your family, Florian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 16 people at work
You're not alone, Florian. Wishing Mathilda a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Lahore but we're thinking of you. God bless.
