Leipzig
Franziska was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at Leipzig Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Franziska is 55, worked as a hairdresser 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 Leipzig Cancer Centre 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $6,600 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340 • Household costs while unable to work: $830 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,400 • Scans and lab work: $1,030 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
