Supporting Emery through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Riverside Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Riverside
Emery was diagnosed with kidney cancer in February. The oncology team at Riverside Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Emery is 38, worked as a shop owner until February, 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 Riverside Regional Medical Center 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 $7,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,650 • Scans and lab work: $1,750 • Transport to Riverside Regional Medical Center: $1,050 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $310 • Household costs while unable to work: $940 Thanks for being kind about this. - Rachel

      what's already covered and what's the $7,700 for?

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($3,650) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
