Help Irena through 4 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Sheffield University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Irena was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Sheffield University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Irena is 58, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Sheffield University Hospital 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $5,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,500
• Household costs while unable to work: $950
• Transport to Sheffield University Hospital: $550
Thank you for reading my story.

hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Puebla so I could bring a meal. Love from Columbia
