Gianna was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July. The oncology team at San Diego University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Gianna is 33, 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 San Diego 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 $2,350 goes: • Transport to San Diego University Hospital: $710 • Scans and lab work: $830 • Household costs while unable to work: $810 I hope life is good to you.

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to San Diego University Hospital comes first ($710) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

      • Sending strength, Angel. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
