Hannah's kidney cancer treatment fund

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

Augsburg
In July I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at the Augsburg Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a primary school teacher 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 Augsburg Oncology Institute 3 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 $7,650 goes: • Transport to the Augsburg Oncology Institute: $830 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,480 Glad we found this place. - Hannah

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