Help Anna through 4 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Anna is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Anna was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in December. The oncology team at the Fresno Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Anna is 45, worked as a farmer 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 the Fresno Oncology Institute 2 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 $8,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,550 • Scans and lab work: $970 • Transport to the Fresno Oncology Institute: $1,150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $550 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,080 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
