Help Doris through 8 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Anaheim University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Anaheim
Doris was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at Anaheim University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Doris is 31, worked as a shop owner 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 Anaheim University Hospital 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 $4,100 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $2,000 • Scans and lab work: $1,250 • Transport to Anaheim University Hospital: $460 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Natalia
