Anaheim
Gabriela was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Anaheim Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Gabriela is 28, worked as a bakery worker 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 Anaheim Regional Medical Center 3 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 $9,900 goes: • Transport to Anaheim Regional Medical Center: $840 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750 • Household costs while unable to work: $940 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $370 If you're reading this, thank you. - Karina

Updates from Karina

  1. Update from Anaheim: the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Dhaka donated after I showed her your page

    • It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gabriela.

          Transport to Anaheim Regional Medical Center is $840 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
