Help Galina through 8 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Moscow Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Moscow
Galina was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at the Moscow Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Galina is 26, worked as a taxi driver 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,700 • Scans and lab work: $400 • Transport to the Moscow Oncology Institute: $290 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $240 • Household costs while unable to work: $720 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Nikolai
