Help Iris through 12 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma
Supporting Iris through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Haarlem University Hospital, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇳🇱 Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands4,734 views
Iris was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in September. The oncology team at Haarlem University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Iris is 58, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Haarlem 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 $3,050 goes:
• Transport to Haarlem University Hospital: $690
• Scans and lab work: $620
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,380
With deep gratitude,
Karin

Hang in there, Karin. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Tema.
Best of luck, Karin. Get well soon. My neighbor in Cairo donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Best of luck, Karin. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mar del Plata.
