Fighting thyroid cancer: help Nevaeh afford treatment in Springfield

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

Springfield
In July I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at the Springfield Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 51, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 the Springfield Oncology Institute 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 $10,700 goes: • Scans and lab work: $950 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $730 • Transport to the Springfield Oncology Institute: $770 Thank you so much.
