Help Cecilia through 8 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma

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

Cecilia was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in April. The oncology team at Stockholm Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Cecilia is 57, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until April, 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 Stockholm Regional Medical Center 5 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 $2,850 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,400 • Transport to Stockholm Regional Medical Center: $1,000 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
