Gloria's colon cancer treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at London Cancer Centre; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom7,719 views
Gloria was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at London Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Gloria is 38, worked as a taxi driver 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 London Cancer Centre 5 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 $10,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,000
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,100
• Transport to London Cancer Centre: $580
• Scans and lab work: $520
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Aria
Small update. $3,105 so far, the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($1,691). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward household costs while unable to work.

Stay strong, Aria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of London.
Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
