Help Hélène through 6 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
Hélène is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇫🇷 France4,560 views
Hélène was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in September. The oncology team at Saint-Étienne Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Hélène is 29, worked as a bakery worker until September, 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 Saint-Étienne 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $9,300 goes:
• Transport to Saint-Étienne Regional Medical Center: $410
• Household costs while unable to work: $910
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,980
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Incheon so I could bring a meal.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from El Paso.
