Fighting thyroid cancer: help Avery afford treatment in Greensboro
Supporting Avery through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Greensboro Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇺🇸 United States2,704 views
Avery was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Greensboro Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Avery is 43, worked as a tailor 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 Greensboro Cancer Centre 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $12,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750
• Scans and lab work: $1,200
• Transport to Greensboro Cancer Centre: $1,000
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $470
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,830
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Nîmes
wishing you peace, Ruth. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Bang Khen this morning. God bless
Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours
you're not alone, Ruth. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Hope things get better soon, Ruth. Shared it with a few friends. After 13 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending good thoughts, Ruth. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Aurangabad.
