Gianna was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Seattle Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Gianna is 30, worked as a bank teller 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 Seattle 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $9,400 goes: • Transport to Seattle Regional Medical Center: $1,250 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,400 Thank you for reading my story. - Matthew

  • what's already covered and what's the $9,400 for?

    • Matthew RichardsOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is transport to Seattle Regional Medical Center, $1,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.

  • Wishing you peace, Matthew. It takes guts to ask. Well done.

    • Thinking of you, Matthew. I hope things turn around soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Seattle.

      • Any update on how things are going in Seattle?

        • best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope October is when things finally get easier.

          • Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Kampala so I could bring a meal

            • Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Spokane.

              • Hang in there, Matthew. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Love from Iztapalapa.

                • Wishing you the best, Matthew. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
