Help Elena through 6 rounds of treatment for cervical cancer
Supporting Elena through cervical cancer: medication, transport to the Moscow Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇷🇺 Russia3,125 views
Elena was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at the Moscow Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Elena is 36, worked as a bus conductor 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 the Moscow Oncology Institute 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 $1,900 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $250
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000
• Transport to the Moscow Oncology Institute: $340
• Scans and lab work: $310
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Moscow
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about household costs while unable to work, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Best of luck, Ihor. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Elena.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. household costs while unable to work comes first ($250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Sending good thoughts, Ihor. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
Hang in there, Ihor. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Sending love, Ihor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Saket

hope things get better soon, Ihor. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Thinking of you, Ihor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Jacksonville donated after I showed her your page.
Thanks for sharing this, Ihor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from San Diego.
