Help Heather through 8 rounds of treatment for colon cancer
Heather is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States4,050 views
Heather was diagnosed with colon cancer in June. The oncology team at Los Angeles University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Heather is 35, worked as a bank teller until June, 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 Los Angeles 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 $11,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,000
• Scans and lab work: $790
• Transport to Los Angeles University Hospital: $490
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $410
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,410

Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
