Corpus Christi
Pamela was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in December. The oncology team at Corpus Christi University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Pamela is 47, worked as a tailor until December, 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 Corpus Christi University Hospital 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 $4,500 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $850 • Scans and lab work: $1,050 • Transport to Corpus Christi University Hospital: $1,100 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,500 Thank you so much. - Tyler

  • Best of luck, Tyler. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Corpus Christi.

    • keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest

      • Wishing you the best, Tyler. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

        • Wishing you peace, Tyler. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
