Clara was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June. The oncology team at Sydney Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Clara is 34, worked as a farmer 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 Sydney 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 $8,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,100 • Scans and lab work: $1,650 • Transport to Sydney Regional Medical Center: $1,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $570 • Household costs while unable to work: $780 Thanks for reading all this. - Nicholas

                  Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($4,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.

                • Thanks for sharing this, Nicholas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
