Help Ivy through 6 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer

Ivy is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Ivy was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at the Fort Worth Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Ivy is 25, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 the Fort Worth Oncology Institute 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 $10,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250 • Scans and lab work: $1,900 • Transport to the Fort Worth Oncology Institute: $970 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $660 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,470 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Jordan
