Help Anne through 10 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer

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

Anne was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at Rotterdam University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Anne is 57, worked as a bus conductor until July, 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 Rotterdam University Hospital 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 $7,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,950 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,350 • Transport to Rotterdam University Hospital: $1,200 Glad we found this place. - Koen

        Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $4,950. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
