Help Brielle through 4 rounds of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Birmingham Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom1,846 views
Brielle was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at Birmingham Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Brielle is 49, worked as a taxi driver until June, 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 Birmingham Regional Medical Center 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 $6,100 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,550
• Scans and lab work: $1,400
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,600
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $550
Thanks for reading all this.
