Help Kennedy through 12 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer
Supporting Kennedy through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Birmingham Cancer Centre, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom4,561 views
Kennedy was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in April. The oncology team at Birmingham Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Kennedy is 49, worked as a bakery worker until April, 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 Birmingham Cancer Centre 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 $5,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,650
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $620
• Transport to Birmingham Cancer Centre: $430
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

keep going, David. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Mississauga.
