Help Bo through 8 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Houston University Hospital; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Houston
Bo was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Houston University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Bo is 27, worked as a farmer 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 Houston University Hospital 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 $11,900 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,000 • Scans and lab work: $930 • Transport to Houston University Hospital: $550 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $710 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,710 Every share and every dollar helps.
