Help Jade through 8 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Toronto University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada6,119 views
Jade was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at Toronto University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Jade is 27, worked as a hairdresser 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 Toronto 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $6,750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,700
• Scans and lab work: $810
• Transport to Toronto University Hospital: $730
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,110
Every share and every dollar helps.

gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
looking forward to the next update. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Toronto.
Best of luck, Andrew. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Toronto.
Keep going, Andrew. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Obuasi.
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Sakai.
Hang in there, Andrew. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
thinking of you and your family, Andrew. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Dallas.
