Help Ilaria through 10 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma

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

Bergamo
Ilaria was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in July. The oncology team at the Bergamo Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Ilaria is 24, worked as a bakery worker 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 the Bergamo Oncology Institute 3 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 $1,900 goes: • Transport to the Bergamo Oncology Institute: $540 • Scans and lab work: $670 • Household costs while unable to work: $690 Thanks for reading all this. - Luca

Updates from Luca

  1. Update from Bergamo: we've started the first stage. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Small update. $265 so far, the plan for transport to the Bergamo Oncology Institute is now scheduled. - Luca

  3. Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($130). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward transport to the Bergamo Oncology Institute.
