Fighting stomach cancer: help Nova afford treatment in Yonkers
Supporting Nova through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Yonkers Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world3,810 views
Nova was diagnosed with stomach cancer in March. The oncology team at Yonkers Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Nova is 39, worked as a shop owner until March, 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 Yonkers Regional Medical Center 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 $6,650 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $920
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,900
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,400
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $430
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
