Help Ellie through 10 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Mississauga University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇨🇦 Mississauga, Ontario, Canada5,305 views
Ellie was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at Mississauga University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Ellie is 27, worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 Mississauga University Hospital 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $7,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,850
• Scans and lab work: $820
• Transport to Mississauga University Hospital: $760
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $580
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,640
Thanks for reading all this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ellie!
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care!
Hang in there, Weston. Wishing Ellie a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Rooting for you, Weston. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Perth
hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier
You're not alone. Hope you get there. Love from Mansoura.
shared this with my family. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
